[ 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.
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 for the current culture. The string representation of the UInt32 value consists of a sequence of digits ranging from 0 to 9 without leading zeros.
To define the formatting of the 32-bit unsigned integer value's string representation, call the ToString(String) method.
The following example displays a UInt32 value by using the default ToString() method. It also displays the string representations of the UInt32 value that results from using some standard format specifiers. The examples are displayed using the formatting conventions of the en-US culture.
using System; public class Example { public static void Demo(System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock outputBlock) { uint value = 1632490; // Display value using default ToString method. outputBlock.Text += value.ToString() + "\n"; outputBlock.Text += "\n"; // Define an array of format specifiers. string[] formats = { "G", "C", "D", "F", "N", "X" }; // Display value using the standard format specifiers. foreach (string format in formats) outputBlock.Text += String.Format("{0} format specifier: {1,16}", format, value.ToString(format)) + "\n"; } } // The example displays the following output: // 1632490 // // G format specifier: 1632490 // C format specifier: $1,632,490.00 // D format specifier: 1632490 // F format specifier: 1632490.00 // N format specifier: 1,632,490.00 // X format specifier: 18E8EA
