Convert.ToString Method (Int16, Int32)

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

Converts the value of a 16-bit signed integer to its equivalent String representation in a specified base.

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

Syntax

'Declaration
<SecuritySafeCriticalAttribute> _
Public Shared Function ToString ( _
    value As Short, _
    toBase As Integer _
) As String

[SecuritySafeCriticalAttribute]
public static string ToString(
    short value,
    int toBase
)

Parameters

  • toBase
    Type: System.Int32
    The base of the return value, which must be 2, 8, 10, or 16.

Return Value

Type: System.String
The String representation of value in base toBase.

Exceptions

Exception Condition
ArgumentException

toBase is not 2, 8, 10, or 16.

Remarks

If value is negative and toBase is a non-decimal value, the returned string uses two's complement representation.

Examples

The following code example converts several 16-bit integers to String s with the ToString method in the radixes supported by the method.

Module Example

   Sub RunToStringDemo(ByVal outputBlock As System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock)

      Dim values As Short() = { _
          Short.MinValue, _
          -100, _
          999, _
          Short.MaxValue}
      Dim radices As Integer() = {2, 8, 10, 16}

      ' Iterate through the values array.
      Dim value As Short
      For Each value In values

         ' Iterate through the radices.
         Dim radix As Integer
         For Each radix In radices

            ' Convert a value with a radix.
            Dim valueString As String = _
                Convert.ToString(value, radix)

            outputBlock.Text &= String.Format("{0,8}  {1,3}    {2}", _
                value, radix, valueString) & vbCrLf
         Next radix
      Next value
   End Sub

   Public Sub Demo(ByVal outputBlock As System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock)

          "   -----  -----  ------") & vbCrLf
