ICustomFormatter.Format Method

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

Converts the value of a specified object to an equivalent string representation using specified format and culture-specific formatting information.

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

Syntax

'Declaration
Function Format ( _
    format As String, _
    arg As Object, _
    formatProvider As IFormatProvider _
) As String
string Format(
    string format,
    Object arg,
    IFormatProvider formatProvider
)

Parameters

  • format
    Type: System.String
    A format string containing formatting specifications.

Return Value

Type: System.String
The string representation of the value of arg, formatted as specified by format and formatProvider.

Remarks

ICustomFormatter.Format is a callback method. It is called by a method that supports custom formatting, such as String.Format(IFormatProvider, String, array<Object[]). The implementation is called once for each format item in a composite format string. For example, in the following statement, the ICustomFormatter.Format method is called three times.

outputBlock.Text &= String.Format(New BinaryFormatter(), _
                                "{0} (binary: {0:B}) (hex: {0:H})", byteValue) & vbCrLf
outputBlock.Text += String.Format(String.Format(new BinaryFormatter(),
                                "{0} (binary: {0:B}) (hex: {0:H})", byteValue)) + "\n";

The arg parameter is the object in the object list whose zero-based position corresponds to the index of a particular format item.

The format parameter contains a format string, which is the formatString component of a format item. If the format item has no formatString component, the value of format is nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic). If format is nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic), depending on the type of arg, you may be able to use the default format specification of your choice.

The formatProvider parameter is the IFormatProvider implementation that provides formatting for arg. Typically, it is an instance of your ICustomFormatter implementation. If formatProvider is nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic), ignore that parameter.

Your implementation of the Format method must include the following functionality so the .NET Framework can provide formatting you do not support. If your format method does not support a format, determine whether the object being formatted implements the IFormattable interface. If it does, invoke the IFormattable.ToString method of that interface. Otherwise, invoke the default Object.ToString method of the underlying object. The following code illustrates this pattern.

If TypeOf arg Is IFormattable Then
   Return DirectCast(arg, IFormattable).ToString(fmt, CultureInfo.CurrentCulture)
ElseIf arg IsNot Nothing Then
   Return arg.ToString()
if (arg is IFormattable) 
   return ((IFormattable)arg).ToString(format, CultureInfo.CurrentCulture);
else if (arg != null)
   return arg.ToString();

Examples

The following example implements ICustomFormatter to allow binary, octal, and hexadecimal formatting of integral values. Its ICustomFormatter.Format implementation determines whether the format parameter is one of the three supported format strings ("B" for binary, "O" for octal, and "H" for hexadecimal) and formats the arg parameter appropriately. Otherwise, if arg is not nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic), it calls the arg parameter's IFormattable.ToString implementation, if one exists, or its parameterless ToString method, if one does not. If arg is nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic), the method returns String.Empty.

BinaryFormatter can then be used to provide custom formatting by passing a BinaryFormatter object as the provider parameter of the Format method, as the following example shows.
