Sharepoint: How to get MAX id of list?

How can we get MAX id of any present list?
-> Simplely use following code
(*Note: insert your list name rather 'List_Name')

public string MaxListId()
{
SPWeb web = SPContext.Current.Web;
SPList oList = web.Lists["List_Name"];
SPQuery query = new SPQuery();

query.Query = "";
SPListItemCollection items = oList.GetItems(query);

DataTable dtmax = new DataTable();
dtmax = items.GetDataTable();

string maxId = "";
foreach (DataRow row in dtmax.Rows)
{
maxId = row["ID"].ToString();
break;
}

return maxId;
}

Sharepoint: Programatically add LookUp field to custom list

We can add programmatically other 'LookUp' field as a new column into custom list, simply add below code.. :)

SPList targetList = web.Lists["List1"];
list.Fields.AddLookup("Col2", targetList.ID, false);
SPFieldLookup lookupField = list.Fields["Col2"] as SPFieldLookup;
lookupField.LookupField = targetList.Fields[SPBuiltInFieldId.Title].InternalName;
lookupField.Update();

Suppose we have two different list List1 and List2, and in List1 have three columns as col1, col2, col3.
So with above code, it creates new lookup field as 'Col2' column in List2.

.Net: Difference between String and Stringbuilder?

Usually, String is immutable type which means once you have the content there then you can't change it. While StringBuilder is mutable because it allows you to change the content that you have already placed.
Important to keep in mind that a string allows you to change the content but offcourse it always creates a new string reference. For example, all string methods return a new string and don't update the same string variable.
When you have huge amount of concatenation, best recommendation to go for StringBuilder!
Example:
String and StringBuilder class stores strings. But when you cannot change a String object after creating one.
eg: String name = "Test";
By saying you can't change the name object means you can't change the value in name object internally. When you change the name object value to something else, a new String object is creating in memory and assign the new value.

eg: name = "Test Example";

A new name object is creating in memory and the value "Test Example" is assinging to the newly created space.

But StringBuilder class occupies the same space even if you change the value.
If you are doing string concatenation StringBuilder class is far better in performance than String class.

You can use StringBuilder's Append() method to use concatenation.
