C# string concatenation and string interning

Question

When performing string concatentation of an existing string in the intern pool, is a new string entered into the intern pool or is a reference returned to the existing strin

Answer 1

You can see whether a string has been interned by calling String.IsInterned. The call will return a new string that is either a reference to an interned string equal to the string that was passed as an argument, or null if the string was not interned.
