virtual String^ ToString() override
abstract ToString : unit -> string 
override ToString : unit -> string 
public override function ToString() : String

Return Value

Type: System. . :: . .String
The string representation of the value of this instance, consisting of a negative sign if the value is negative, and a sequence of digits ranging from 0 to 9 with no leading zeroes.

Remarks

The return value is formatted with the general numeric format specifier ("G") and the NumberFormatInfo object for the current culture. To define the formatting of the integer value's string representation, call the Int32..::..ToString(String) method. To define the culture whose formatting is used in the integer value's string representation, call the Int32.ToString(IFormatProvider) method. To define both the format specifier and culture used in creating the string representation of an integer value, call the Int32.ToString(String, IFormatProvider) method.
