UInt64.ToString Method ()
Converts the numeric value of this instance to its equivalent string representation.
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Return Value
Type: System.StringThe string representation of the value of this instance, consisting of a sequence of digits ranging from 0 to 9, without a sign or leading zeroes.
The ToString() method formats a UInt64 value in the default ("G", or general) format by using the NumberFormatInfo object of the current culture. If you want to specify a different format or culture, use the other overloads of the ToString method, as follows:
To use format | For culture | Use the overload |
|---|---|---|
Default ("G") format | A specific culture | |
A specific format | Default (current) culture | |
A specific format | A specific culture |
The following example displays a UInt64 value by using the default ToString() method. It also displays the string representations of the UInt64 value that results from using some standard format specifiers. The examples are displayed using the formatting conventions of the en-US culture.
Module Example Public Sub Main() Dim value As ULong = 163249057 ' Display value using default ToString method. Console.WriteLine(value.ToString()) Console.WriteLine() ' Define an array of format specifiers. Dim formats() As String = { "G", "C", "D", "F", "N", "X" } ' Display value using the standard format specifiers. For Each format As String In formats Console.WriteLine("{0} format specifier: {1,16}", _ format, value.ToString(format)) Next End Sub End Module ' The example displays the following output: ' 163249057 ' ' G format specifier: 163249057 ' C format specifier: $163,249,057.00 ' D format specifier: 163249057 ' F format specifier: 163249057.00 ' N format specifier: 163,249,057.00 ' X format specifier: 9BAFBA1
