Convert.ToString Method (Int64, Int32)

Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

Converts the value of a 64-bit signed 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 Long, _
    toBase As Integer _
) As String
[SecuritySafeCriticalAttribute]
public static string ToString(
    long value,
    int toBase
)

Parameters

  • 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.

Exceptions

Exception Condition
ArgumentException

toBase is not 2, 8, 10, or 16.

Remarks

If value is negative and toBase is a non-decimal value, the returned string uses two's complement representation.

Examples

The following code example converts several 64-bit integers to String s with the ToString method in the radixes supported by the method.

                Convert.ToString(value, radix)

            ' Display the results; use two lines, if necessary.
            If valueString.Length > 50 Then
