UInt64.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

provider
Type: System.IFormatProvider
An object that supplies culture-specific formatting information.

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 string representation of the UInt64 value consists of a sequence of digits ranging from 0 to 9 without leading zeros.

Note:
Because the UInt64 data type is not supported on the Macintosh OS X operating system, the string representation of a UInt64 value may be different from the string representations of other .NET Framework numeric types that are supported by OS X.

The provider parameter is an IFormatProvider implementation. Its GetFormat method returns a NumberFormatInfo object that provides culture-specific formatting information. However, none of the properties of the NumberFormatInfo are used when formatting with the general numeric format specifier ("G").

Examples

The following example formats a 64-bit signed integer value by using several format providers, including one for the invariant culture. The output from the example illustrates that the formatted string returned by the ToString(IFormatProvider) method is the same regardless of the format provider.

Imports System.Globalization
Imports System.Windows.Media

Module Example
   Public Sub Demo(ByVal outputBlock As System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock)
      outputBlock.FontFamily = New FontFamily("Courier New")
    
      ' Define an array of CultureInfo objects.
      Dim ci() As CultureInfo = {New CultureInfo("en-US"), _
                                  New CultureInfo("fr-FR"), _
                                  CultureInfo.InvariantCulture}
      Dim value As ULong = 18709243
      outputBlock.Text += String.Format("  {0,12}   {1,12}   {2,12}", _
                        GetName(ci(0)), GetName(ci(1)), GetName(ci(2))) & vbCrLf
      outputBlock.Text += String.Format("  {0,12}   {1,12}   {2,12}", _
                        value.ToString(ci(0)), value.ToString(ci(1)), value.ToString(ci(2))) & vbCrLf

   End Sub

   Private Function GetName(ByVal ci As CultureInfo) As String
      If ci.Equals(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture) Then
         Return "Invariant"
      Else
         Return ci.Name
      End If
   End Function
End Module
