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

The return value of this instance is formatted with the NumberFormatInfo for the current culture.

Examples

The following example initializes two Int16 values and displays them to the console using each of the supported standard format strings and several custom format strings. The example is run with en-US as the current culture.

Dim values() As Int16 = {-23805, 32194}
Dim formats() As String = {"C4", "D6", "e1", "E2", "F1", "G", "N1", _
                           "P0", "X4", "000000.0000", "##000.0"}
For Each format As String In formats
   outputBlock.Text += String.Format("'{0,2}' format specifier: {1,17}   {2,17}", _
                     format, _
                     values(0).ToString(format), _
                     values(1).ToString(format)) & vbCrLf
