c# syntax

hello,

i have seen places where the following syntax similar to the following is
used:

param={0}, sParam

where {0} is replaced by sParam.

How can I do that with string concatenation. I want to simplify the
following command:

sText = "Hello my name is " + sName + ". I am " + nAge + " years old."

to something like:

sText = "Hello my name is {0}. I am {1} years old."

sText = String.Format("Hello {0}", sName);
