Convert.ToString Method (Decimal, IFormatProvider)

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

Converts the value of the specified Decimal number to its equivalent String representation.

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

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Shared Function ToString ( _
    value As Decimal, _
    provider As IFormatProvider _
) As String
public static string ToString(
    decimal value,
    IFormatProvider provider
)

Parameters

Return Value

Type: System.String
The String equivalent of the value of value.

Remarks

This implementation is identical to Decimal.ToString.

Examples

The following code example converts a Decimal value to a String with the ToString method, using an IFormatProvider object.
