string formatting

[Grant]

Hi,

While iterating through a loop and building a string is it possible to
format certain string value? the completed string eventually gets passed to
a rich TextBox.

for example:

------------------
string thing = "";
foreach (Dataset.Row row in rows)
{
if ( row.name == "whatever" )
{
thing += row.name; //somehow format the
row.name to bold before it goes into the string
}
thing += row.name;
}
-----------------

Possible?

The string itself isn't bold or anything similar - you need to work out
how to make it bold in the RichTextBox, i.e. applying rich text
formatting.

I would also suggest using a StringBuilder rather than string
concatenation like the above.
