Remarks
The format parameter can be any valid standard numeric format specifier, or any combination of custom numeric format specifiers. If format is equal to String..::..Empty or is null Nothing nullptr unit a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) , the return value of the current UInt16 object is formatted with the general format specifier ("G"). If format is any other value, the method throws a FormatException.
The format of the returned string is determined by the NumberFormatInfo object for the current culture. Depending on the format parameter, this object controls symbols such as the group separator and the decimal point symbol in the output string. To provide formatting information for cultures other than the current culture, call the ToString(String, IFormatProvider) overload.
