BinaryData.ToString Method

Definition

System

Assembly:

System.Memory.Data.dll

Package:

System.Memory.Data v9.0.0

Source:

BinaryData.cs

Converts the value of this instance to a string using UTF-8.

public:
 override System::String ^ ToString();

public override string ToString ();

override this.ToString : unit -> string

Public Overrides Function ToString () As String

Returns

String

A string representation of the value of this instance.

Remarks

No special treatment is given to the contents of the data. It is merely decoded as a UTF-8 string. For a JPEG or other binary file format, the string will largely be nonsense with many embedded NUL characters. UTF-8 JSON values will look like their file or network representation, including starting and stopping quotes on a string.
