UInt64.ToString Method

[ This article is for Windows Phone 8 developers. If you’re developing for Windows 10, see the latest documentation. ]

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

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

'Declaration
Public Overrides Function ToString As String

Return Value

Type: System.String
The string representation of the value of this instance, consisting of a sequence of digits ranging from 0 to 9, without a sign or leading zeroes.

The return value is formatted with the general numeric format specifier ("G") and the NumberFormatInfo object for the current culture. The string representation of the UInt64 value consists of a sequence of digits ranging from 0 to 9 without leading zeros.

To define the formatting of the 64-bit unsigned integer value's string representation, call the ToString(String) method.

The following example displays a UInt64 value by using the default ToString method. It also displays the string representations of the UInt64 value that results from using some standard format specifiers. The examples are displayed using the formatting conventions of the en-US culture.


Module Example
   Public Sub Demo(ByVal outputBlock As System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock)
      Dim value As ULong = 163249057
      ' Display value using default ToString method.
      outputBlock.Text &= value.ToString() & vbCrLf
      outputBlock.Text &= vbCrLf

      ' Define an array of format specifiers.
      Dim formats() As String = {"G", "C", "D", "F", "N", "X"}
      ' Display value using the standard format specifiers.
      For Each format As String In formats
         outputBlock.Text += String.Format("{0} format specifier: {1,16}", _
                           format, value.ToString(format)) & vbCrLf
      Next
   End Sub
End Module
' The example displays the following output:
'       163249057
'       
'       G format specifier:        163249057
'       C format specifier:  $163,249,057.00
'       D format specifier:        163249057
'       F format specifier:     163249057.00
'       N format specifier:   163,249,057.00
'       X format specifier:          9BAFBA1
