Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.
Converts the value of an 8-bit unsigned integer to its equivalent string representation in a specified base.
Namespace: System
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration
<SecuritySafeCriticalAttribute> _
Public Shared Function ToString ( _
value As Byte, _
toBase As Integer _
) As String
[SecuritySafeCriticalAttribute]
public static string ToString(
byte value,
int toBase
)
Parameters
- value
Type: System.Byte
An 8-bit unsigned integer.
- toBase
Type: System.Int32
The base of the return value, which must be 2, 8, 10, or 16.
Return Value
Type: System.String
The string representation of value in base toBase.
Examples
The following code example converts several Byte values to String s with the ToString method in the radixes supported by the method.
' Example of the Convert.ToString( Byte, Integer ) method.
Module Example
Sub RunToStringDemo(ByVal outputBlock As System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock)
Dim values As Byte() = { _
Byte.MinValue, _
13, _
Byte.MaxValue}
Dim radices As Integer() = {2, 8, 10, 16}
' Iterate through the values array.
Dim value As Byte
For Each value In values
' Iterate through the radices.
Dim radix As Integer
For Each radix In radices
' Convert a value with a radix.
Dim valueString As String = _
Convert.ToString(value, radix)
outputBlock.Text &= String.Format("{0,7} {1,3} {2}", _
value, radix, valueString) & vbCrLf
Next radix
Next value
End Sub
