title: What is the appropriate way to set a VB StringBuilder to an empty string?
body: <p>I'm using VB's StringBuilder, and I was curious what is considered "best practice" for emptying the builder/setting it to a new string. Would it be something like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Dim str As New System.Text.StringBuilder()
  str.Append("Some string to remove")
  str = new System.Text.StringBuilder()
  str.Append("Ahh, fresh new text!")
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>or is there a "Better" way?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
