String Interpolation vs String.Format

Question

Is there a noticable performance difference between using string interpolation:

myString += $\"{x:x2}\";

vs String.Format()?

Answer 1

string interpolation is turned into string.Format() at compile-time.

Also in string.Format you can specify several outputs for single argument, and different output formats for single argument. But string interpolation is more readable I guess. So, it's up to you.

a = string.Format("Due date is {0:M/d/yy} at {0:h:mm}", someComplexObject.someObject.someProperty);

b = $"Due date is {someComplexObject.someObject.someProperty:M/d/yy} at {someComplexObject.someObject.someProperty:h:mm}";
