  • I'm missing this from Ruby as well. Commented Oct 1, 2008 at 18:33
  • I think your example is too simplistic and is leading people to give you unhelpful answers. Maybe using a variable more than once in the string would be more demonstrative. Commented Oct 1, 2008 at 18:40
  • Actually, the SPECIFIC confusion is the use of String.Format. That lends itself to answers such as mine, which are not helpful because they're not variable oriented, but are accurate insofar as String.Format is concerned. Commented Oct 1, 2008 at 18:47

    The call to String.Format is obviously a contrived example. Unless of course you weren't aware that calling String.Format with ellipses isn't possible. The problem was that I didn't put that I wanted the formatting to happen by named parameters rather than position, which has been fiexed. Commented Oct 1, 2008 at 19:02
