Implements

IConvertible::ToString(IFormatProvider^)

The ToString(IFormatProvider^) method formats an Int16 value in the default ("G", or general) format by using the NumberFormatInfo object of a specified culture. If you want to specify a different format or the current culture, use the other overloads of the ToString method, as follows:

To use format

For culture

Use the overload

Default ("G") format

Default (current) culture

ToString()

A specific format

Default (current) culture

ToString(String^)

A specific format

A specific culture

ToString(String^, IFormatProvider^)

The .NET Framework provides extensive formatting support, which is described in greater detail in the following formatting topics:

The provider parameter is an IFormatProvider implementation whose IFormatProvider::GetFormat method returns a NumberFormatInfo object. Typically, provider is a NumberFormatInfo object or a CultureInfo object. The NumberFormatInfo object provides culture-specific information about the format of the string returned by this method. If provider is null, this instance is formatted with the NumberFormatInfo object for the current culture.

The following example iterates an array of Int16 values and displays each of them to the console by calling the Int16::ToString(IFormatProvider^) method with different format providers. Because of the simple formatting defined by the default "G" format specifier, the formatted strings produced for each Int16 value are identical regardless of the value of the provider parameter.
