Int64.ToString Method (IFormatProvider)

Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

Converts the numeric value of this instance to its equivalent string representation using the specified culture-specific format information.

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

Syntax

'Declaration
<SecuritySafeCriticalAttribute> _
Public Function ToString ( _
    provider As IFormatProvider _
) As String
[SecuritySafeCriticalAttribute]
public string ToString(
    IFormatProvider provider
)

Parameters

Return Value

Type: System.String
The string representation of the value of this instance as specified by provider.

Implements

IConvertible.ToString(IFormatProvider)

Remarks

This instance is formatted with the general numeric format specifier ("G").

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

The provider parameter is an IFormatProvider that obtains a NumberFormatInfo object. The NumberFormatInfo provides culture-specific format information about this instance. If provider is nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic), this instance is formatted with the NumberFormatInfo for the current culture.

Examples

The following code example formats an integral and a floating-point numeric value using the thread current culture, a specified culture, and all the standard numeric format specifiers. This code example uses two particular numeric types, but would yield similar results for any of the numeric base types (Byte, SByte, Int16, Int32, Int64, UInt16, UInt32, UInt64, Decimal, Single, and Double).
