Parameters

format

A string that specifies the format of the returned string.

Note: For a list of valid values, see ulong.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 method is equivalent to ulong.ToString(format, null).

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

Example

This example demonstrates converting a ulong to a string.

C# Example

using System;
public class UInt64ToStringExample {
   public static void Main() {
      UInt64 i = 64;
      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

64
c: $64.00
d: 64
e: 6.400000e+001
f: 64.00
g: 64
n: 64.00
p: 6,400.00 %
x: 40
