Decimal.ToString Method (System) | Microsoft Learn

Source:: Decimal.cs

Source:: Decimal.cs

Source:: Decimal.cs

Source:: Decimal.cs

Converts the numeric value of this instance to its equivalent string representation, using the specified format.

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

public string ToString(string format);

public string ToString(string? format);

override this.ToString : string -> string

Public Function ToString (format As String) As String

Parameters

format: String

A standard or custom numeric format string.

Returns

The string representation of the value of this instance as specified by format.

Exceptions Examples

The following example displays a Decimal value using each of the supported standard numeric format specifiers, together with two custom numeric format strings. In converting the numeric values to strings, the example uses the formatting conventions of the en-US culture.

decimal value = 16325.62m;
string specifier;

// Use standard numeric format specifiers.
specifier = "G";
Console.WriteLine("{0}: {1}", specifier, value.ToString(specifier));
// Displays:    G: 16325.62
specifier = "C";
Console.WriteLine("{0}: {1}", specifier, value.ToString(specifier));
// Displays:    C: $16,325.62
specifier = "E04";
Console.WriteLine("{0}: {1}", specifier, value.ToString(specifier));
// Displays:    E04: 1.6326E+004
specifier = "F";
Console.WriteLine("{0}: {1}", specifier, value.ToString(specifier));
// Displays:    F: 16325.62
specifier = "N";
Console.WriteLine("{0}: {1}", specifier, value.ToString(specifier));
// Displays:    N: 16,325.62
specifier = "P";
Console.WriteLine("{0}: {1}", specifier, (value/10000).ToString(specifier));
// Displays:    P: 163.26 %

// Use custom numeric format specifiers.
specifier = "0,0.000";
Console.WriteLine("{0}: {1}", specifier, value.ToString(specifier));
// Displays:    0,0.000: 16,325.620
specifier = "#,#.00#;(#,#.00#)";
Console.WriteLine("{0}: {1}", specifier, (value*-1).ToString(specifier));
// Displays:    #,#.00#;(#,#.00#): (16,325.62)

Remarks

The ToString(String) method formats a Decimal value in a specified format by using the conventions of the current culture. If you want to use the default ("G", or general) format or specify a different culture, use the other overloads of the ToString method, as follows:

The ToString method uses the standard or custom numeric format string specified by the format parameter to convert the value of the current instance into its string representation. The format parameter can be any valid standard numeric format specifier except for D, R, and X, as well as any combination of custom numeric format specifiers. If format is null or an empty string, the return value of this instance is formatted with the general numeric format specifier (G).

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

For more information about numeric format specifiers, see Standard Numeric Format Strings and Custom Numeric Format Strings.
For more information about formatting, see Formatting Types.

The return value is formatted by using the NumberFormatInfo object for the current culture. To apply the formatting conventions of a specified culture, call the ToString(String, IFormatProvider) method.
