[This documentation is for preview only, and is subject to change in later releases. Blank topics are included as placeholders.]

Returns the path as a string.

Namespace:  System.IO
Assembly:  System.IO (in System.IO.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Overrides Function ToString As String
public override string ToString()
public:
virtual String^ ToString() override
abstract ToString : unit -> string 
override ToString : unit -> string 
public override function ToString() : String

Return Value

Type: System. . :: . .String
A string representing the path.

Remarks

The string returned by the ToString method represents path that was passed to the constructor. When you create a FileInfo object using the constructors, the ToString method returns the fully qualified path. However, there are cases where the string returned by the ToString method does not represent the fully qualified path. For example, when you create a FileInfo object using the GetFiles method, the ToString method does not represent the fully qualified path.
