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 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 UInt16 value consists of a sequence of digits ranging from 0 to 9 without leading zeros.
To define the formatting of the 16-bit unsigned integer value's string representation, call the ToString(String) method.
The following example displays a UInt16 value by using the default ToString method. It also displays the string representations of the UInt16 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 UInt16 = 16324 ' 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: {1,12}", _ format, value.ToString(format)) & vbCrLf Next End Sub End Module ' The example displays the following output: ' 16324 ' ' G format specifier: 16324 ' C format specifier: $16,324.00 ' D format specifier: 16324 ' F format specifier: 16324.00 ' N format specifier: 16,324.00 ' X format specifier: 3FC4
