Definition
Converts the value of a StringBuilder to a String.
Overloads
ToString() |
Converts the value of this instance to a String. |
ToString(Int32, Int32) |
Converts the value of a substring of this instance to a String. |
ToString()
Converts the value of this instance to a String.
public:
override System::String ^ ToString();
public override string ToString ();
override this.ToString : unit -> string
Public Overrides Function ToString () As String
Returns
A string whose value is the same as this instance.
Examples
The following example demonstrates calling the ToString method. This example is part of a larger example provided for the StringBuilder class.
// Display the number of characters in the StringBuilder
// and its string.
Console::WriteLine("{0} chars: {1}", sb->Length, sb->ToString());
// Display the number of characters in the StringBuilder and its string.
Console.WriteLine("{0} chars: {1}", sb.Length, sb.ToString());
' Display the number of characters in the StringBuilder and its string.
Console.WriteLine("{0} chars: {1}", sb.Length, sb.ToString())
Remarks
You must call the ToString method to convert the StringBuilder object to a String object before you can pass the string represented by the StringBuilder object to a method that has a String parameter or display it in the user interface.
ToString(Int32, Int32)
Converts the value of a substring of this instance to a String.
public:
System::String ^ ToString(int startIndex, int length);
public string ToString (int startIndex, int length);
override this.ToString : int * int -> string
Public Function ToString (startIndex As Integer, length As Integer) As String
Parameters
- startIndex
- Int32
The starting position of the substring in this instance.
- length
- Int32
The length of the substring.
Returns
A string whose value is the same as the specified substring of this instance.
Exceptions
startIndex
or length
is less than zero.
-or-
The sum of startIndex
and length
is greater than the length of the current instance.
Remarks
You must call the ToString method to convert the StringBuilder object to a String object before you can pass the string represented by the StringBuilder object to a method that has a String parameter or display it in the user interface.
