Remarks
This is a mapping to the Objective-C NSString class. Generally, in .NET languages you use the native T:System.Text.StringBuilder type in your code.
This class is exposed purely to support binding some Objective-C libraries that expose APIs that use this type. But it is in general discouraged as part of general API design (it is also in general not exposed by well designed Objective-C libraries).
Constructors
| NSMutableString() |
Default constructor, initializes a new instance of this class. |
| NSMutableString(IntPtr) |
A constructor used when creating managed representations of unmanaged objects; Called by the runtime. |
| NSMutableString(nint) |
Creates a new mutable string with the specified initial capacity. |
| NSMutableString(NSCoder) |
A constructor that initializes the object from the data stored in the unarchiver object. |
| NSMutableString(NSObjectFlag) |
Constructor to call on derived classes to skip initialization and merely allocate the object. |
