Convert.ToString Method (Int32, Int32)
Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.
Converts the value of a 32-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 Integer, _
toBase As Integer _
) As String
[SecuritySafeCriticalAttribute]
public static string ToString(
int value,
int toBase
)
Parameters
- value
Type: System.Int32
A 32-bit signed integer.
- 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.
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 32-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 Integer() = { _
Integer.MinValue, _
-100, _
0, _
99999, _
Integer.MaxValue}
Dim radices As Integer() = {2, 8, 10, 16}
' Iterate through the values array.
Dim value As Integer
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("{0,13} {1,3} {2}", _
value, radix, valueString) & vbCrLf
Next radix
Next value
End Sub

"converts several Integer values to " & vbCrLf & _

" Value Radix String" & vbCrLf & _
" ----- ----- ------") & vbCrLf
