Public Shared Sub Write (format As String, arg0 As Object, arg1 As Object, arg2 As Object, arg3 As Object)

Parameters

format
String

A composite format string.

arg0
Object

The first object to write using format.

arg1
Object

The second object to write using format.

The format specification in format is invalid.

Examples

The following example illustrates the use of variable parameters with the Write(String, Object, Object, Object, Object) method. The method is called with a composite format string and five format items.

using namespace System;

//void main(array<System::String ^> ^args)
void main()
{
   DateTime dateRecorded(2009, 6, 15);
   DateTime startTime(1, 1, 1, 0, 30, 0);
   TimeSpan interval(12, 0, 0);

   Double temperature1 = 52.8;
   Double temperature2 = 63.5;
   
   Console::Write("Date: {0:d}:\n   Temperature at {1:t}: {2}\n   Temperature at {3:t}: {4}\n", 
                  dateRecorded, startTime, temperature1, 
                  startTime.Add(interval), temperature2);
    Console::ReadLine();
}
// The example displays the following output:
//      Date: 6/15/2009:
//         Temperature at 12:30 AM: 52.8
//         Temperature at 12:30 PM: 63.5

Remarks

Note

This API is not CLS-compliant. The CLS-compliant alternative is Console.Write(String, Object[]). The C# and Visual Basic compilers automatically resolve a call to this method as a call to Console.Write(String, Object[]).

This method uses the composite formatting feature of .NET to convert the value of an object to its text representation and embed that representation in a string. The resulting string is written to the output stream.

The format parameter consists of zero or more runs of text intermixed with zero or more indexed placeholders, called format items, that correspond to an object in the parameter list of this method. The formatting process replaces each format item with the text representation of the value of the corresponding object.

The syntax of a format item is {index[,alignment][:formatString]}, which specifies a mandatory index, the optional length and alignment of the formatted text, and an optional string of format specifier characters that govern how the value of the corresponding object is formatted.

.NET provides extensive formatting support, which is described in greater detail in the following formatting topics.

Notes to Callers

This method is marked with the vararg keyword, which means that it supports a variable number of parameters. The method can be called from Visual C++, but it cannot be called from C# or Visual Basic code. The C# and Visual Basic compilers resolve calls to Write(String, Object, Object, Object, Object) as calls to Write(String, Object[]).

Remarks

This method uses the composite formatting feature of .NET to convert the value of an object to its text representation and embed that representation in a string. The resulting string is written to the output stream.

The format parameter consists of zero or more runs of text intermixed with zero or more indexed placeholders, called format items, that correspond to an object in the parameter list of this method. The formatting process replaces each format item with the text representation of the value of the corresponding object.

The syntax of a format item is {index[,alignment][:formatString]}, which specifies a mandatory index, the optional length and alignment of the formatted text, and an optional string of format specifier characters that govern how the value of the corresponding object is formatted.

.NET provides extensive formatting support, which is described in greater detail in the following formatting topics.

Examples

The following example defines a Person class with a number of properties that provide information about a person. Its GetDescription method returns an array that contains all of the property values except one. The example then uses the array returned by the GetDescription method to display the values of the Person object.

using System;

public class Person
{
   public String Name { get; set; }
   public DateTime BirthDate  { get; set; }
   public Double Height { get; set; }

   public Char Gender { get; set; }
   public String Remarks { get; set; }

   public object[] GetDescription()
   {
      return new object[] { Name, Gender, Height, Weight, BirthDate};
   }
}

                              BirthDate = new DateTime(1992, 5, 10),
                              Height = 73.5, Weight = 207 };
      p1.Remarks = "Client since 1/3/2012";
      Console.Write("{0}: {1}, born {4:d}  Height {2} inches, Weight {3} lbs  ",
                    p1.GetDescription());
      if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(p1.Remarks))

End Module
' The example displays the following output:
'   John: M, born 5/10/1992  Height 73.5 inches, Weight 207 lbs  Remarks: Client since 1/3/2012

Note that the example calls the Write(String, Object[]) method rather than the WriteLine(String, Object[]) method because it attempts to display the value of the Person.Remarks property on the same line. To do this, it examines the value of the CursorLeft and WindowWidth properties to determine whether there is enough space for the remark to fit. If there is, it displays the line. If not, it writes a line, indents three spaces, and displays the remark.

The following example is identical to the first, except that it supplies a five-item list as the arg argument instead of a parameter array.

using System;

public class Person
{
   public String Name { get; set; }
   public DateTime BirthDate  { get; set; }
   public Double Height { get; set; }
   public Double Weight { get; set; }

This method uses the composite formatting feature of .NET to convert the value of an object to its text representation and embed that representation in a string. The resulting string is written to the output stream.

The format parameter consists of zero or more runs of text intermixed with zero or more indexed placeholders, called format items, that correspond to an object in the parameter list of this method. The formatting process replaces each format item with the text representation of the value of the corresponding object.

The syntax of a format item is {index[,alignment][:formatString]}, which specifies a mandatory index, the optional length and alignment of the formatted text, and an optional string of format specifier characters that govern how the value of the corresponding object is formatted.

.NET provides extensive formatting support, which is described in greater detail in the following formatting topics.

The arg parameter is a parameter array. Arguments can be passed to the method either as an array or as list of five or more items. The examples illustrate both forms of method call.

Notes to Callers

This method is not called by C++ code. The C++ compiler resolves calls to System.Console.Write that include a string and a list of four or more object parameters as a call to Write(String, Object, Object, Object, Object). It resolves calls to System.Console.Write that include a string and an object array as a call to Write(String, Object).

Remarks

This method uses the composite formatting feature of the .NET to convert the value of an object to its text representation and embed that representation in a string. The resulting string is written to the output stream.

The format parameter consists of zero or more runs of text intermixed with zero or more indexed placeholders, called format items, that correspond to an object in the parameter list of this method. The formatting process replaces each format item with the text representation of the value of the corresponding object.

The syntax of a format item is {index[,alignment][:formatString]}, which specifies a mandatory index, the optional length and alignment of the formatted text, and an optional string of format specifier characters that govern how the value of the corresponding object is formatted.

.NET provides extensive formatting support, which is described in greater detail in the following formatting topics.

Remarks

This method uses the composite formatting feature of .NET to convert the value of an object to its text representation and embed that representation in a string. The resulting string is written to the output stream.

The format parameter consists of zero or more runs of text intermixed with zero or more indexed placeholders, called format items, that correspond to an object in the parameter list of this method. The formatting process replaces each format item with the text representation of the value of the corresponding object.

The syntax of a format item is {index[,alignment][:formatString]}, which specifies a mandatory index, the optional length and alignment of the formatted text, and an optional string of format specifier characters that govern how the value of the corresponding object is formatted.

.NET provides extensive formatting support, which is described in greater detail in the following formatting topics.
