Parameters

format

A string that specifies the format of the returned string.

Note: For a list of valid values, see short.ToString(string, IFormatProvider).

Returns

A string representation of the current instance formatted as specified by format. The string takes into account the current system culture.

Exceptions

Type	Reason
FormatException	format is invalid.

Remarks

This version of short.ToString is equivalent to short.ToString(format, null).

If format is a null reference, the general format specifier "G" is used.

Example

This example demonstrates converting a short to a string.

C# Example

using System;
public class Int16ToStringExample {
   public static void Main() {
      Int16 i = 16;
      Console.WriteLine(i);
      string[] formats = {"c", "d", "e", "f", "g", "n", "p", "x" };
      foreach(string str in formats)
         Console.WriteLine("{0}: {1}", str, i.ToString(str));
   }
}

The output is

16
c: $16.00
d: 16
e: 1.600000e+001
f: 16.00
g: 16
n: 16.00
p: 1,600.00 %
x: 10
