SByte::ToString Method ()

 

Converts the numeric value of this instance to its equivalent string representation.

Namespace:   System
Assembly:  mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

public:
virtual String^ ToString() override

Return Value

Type: System::String^

The string representation of the value of this instance, consisting of a negative sign if the value is negative, and a sequence of digits ranging from 0 to 9 with no leading zeroes.

The ToString() method formats an SByte value in the default ("G", or general) format 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

ToString(IFormatProvider^)

A specific format

Default (current) culture

ToString(String^)

A specific format

A specific culture

ToString(String^, IFormatProvider^)

The return value is formatted using the general numeric format specifier ("G") The string representation of the SByte value includes a negative sign if its value is negative, and a sequence of digits ranging from 0 to 9 without leading zeros. The negative sign is defined by the NumberFormatInfo object for the current culture.

To define the formatting of the signed byte value's string representation, call the ToString(String^) method.

The following example displays an SByte value using the default ToString() method. It also displays the string representations of the SByte value that results from using a number of standard format specifiers. The examples are displayed using the formatting conventions of the en-US culture.
