Convert.ToString Method (Byte, IFormatProvider)
.NET Framework (current version)
Converts the value of the specified 8-bit unsigned integer to its equivalent string representation, using the specified culture-specific formatting information.
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Parameters
- value
-
Type:
System.Byte
The 8-bit unsigned integer to convert.
- provider
-
Type:
System.IFormatProvider
An object that supplies culture-specific formatting information.
This implementation is identical to Byte.ToString.
The following example converts each element in an unsigned byte array to its equivalent string representation using the formatting conventions of the en-US and fr-FR cultures. Because the "G" specifier by default outputs only decimal digits in a byte value's string representation, the provider parameter does not affect the formatting of the returned string.
' Define an array of numbers to display. Dim numbers() As Byte = { 12, 100, Byte.MaxValue } ' Define the culture names used to display them. Dim cultureNames() As String = { "en-US", "fr-FR" } For Each number As Byte In numbers Console.WriteLine("{0}:", Convert.ToString(number, _ System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture)) For Each cultureName As String In cultureNames Dim culture As New System.Globalization.CultureInfo(cultureName) Console.WriteLine(" {0}: {1,20}", _ culture.Name, Convert.ToString(number, culture)) Next Console.WriteLine() Next ' The example displays the following output: ' 12: ' en-US: 12 ' fr-FR: 12 ' ' 100: ' en-US: 100 ' fr-FR: 100 ' ' 255: ' en-US: 255 ' fr-FR: 255
