Int64.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 minus 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 Int64 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 .NET Framework provides extensive formatting support, which is described in greater detail in the following formatting topics:
For more information about numeric format specifiers, see Standard Numeric Format Strings and Custom Numeric Format Strings.

The following example displays an Int64 value using the default ToString() method. It also displays the string representations of the Int64 value that results from using a number of standard format specifiers. The examples are displayed using the formatting conventions of the en-US culture.
long value = -16325091; // Display value using default ToString method. Console.WriteLine(value.ToString()); // Displays -16325091 // Display value using some standard format specifiers. Console.WriteLine(value.ToString("G")); // Displays -16325091 Console.WriteLine(value.ToString("C")); // Displays ($16,325,091.00) Console.WriteLine(value.ToString("D")); // Displays -16325091 Console.WriteLine(value.ToString("F")); // Displays -16325091.00 Console.WriteLine(value.ToString("N")); // Displays -16,325,091.00 Console.WriteLine(value.ToString("X")); // Displays FFFFFFFFFF06E61D
