Int16.ToString Method

Syntax

'Declaration
<SecuritySafeCriticalAttribute> _
Public Overrides Function ToString As String

[SecuritySafeCriticalAttribute]
public override string ToString()

Remarks

The return value is formatted with the general numeric format specifier ("G") and the NumberFormatInfo for the current culture. To define the formatting of the Int16 value's string representation, call the Int16.ToString(String) method. To define both the formatting and culture used to create the string representation of an Int16 value, call the Int16.ToString(String, IFormatProvider) method.

The .NET Framework provides extensive formatting support, which is described in greater detail in the following formatting topics:

• For more information about numeric format specifiers, see Standard Numeric Format Strings and Custom Numeric Format Strings.

• For more information about formatting, see Formatting Types.

Examples

The following example uses the ToString() method to display an array of Int16 values to the console.

Dim numbers() As Short = {0, 14624, 13982, Short.MaxValue, _
                         Short.MinValue, -16667}
For Each number As Short In numbers
   outputBlock.Text &= number.ToString() & vbCrLf
Next
' The example displays the following output:
'       0
'       14624
'       13982
'       32767
'       -32768
'       -16667                             

short[] numbers = {0, 14624, 13982, short.MaxValue, 
                   short.MinValue, -16667};
foreach (short number in numbers)
{
   outputBlock.Text += number.ToString() + "\n";
}
// The example displays the following output:
//       0
//       14624
//       13982
//       32767
//       -32768
//       -16667
