Convert.ToString Method (Int64, IFormatProvider)
.NET Framework (current version)
Converts the value of the specified 64-bit signed integer to its equivalent string representation, using the specified culture-specific formatting information.
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Parameters
- value
-
Type:
System.Int64
The 64-bit signed integer to convert.
- provider
-
Type:
System.IFormatProvider
An object that supplies culture-specific formatting information.
This implementation is identical to Int64.ToString(IFormatProvider).
The following example defines a custom NumberFormatInfo class that defines its negative sign as the string "~" and its positive sign as the string "!". It then calls the ToString(Int64, IFormatProvider) method to convert each element in a long integer array to its equivalent string representation. The conversion uses the invariant culture as well as the custom NumberFormatInfo object.
Dim numbers() As Long = { CLng(Int32.MinValue) * 2, CLng(Int32.MaxValue) * 2 } Dim nfi As New System.Globalization.NumberFormatInfo() nfi.NegativeSign = "~" nfi.PositiveSign = "!" For Each number As Long In numbers Console.WriteLine("{0,-12} --> {1,12}", _ Convert.ToString(number, System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture), _ Convert.ToString(number, nfi)) Next ' The example displays the following output: ' -4294967296 --> ~4294967296 ' 4294967294 --> 4294967294
