Public Function ToString (format As String, provider As IFormatProvider) As String

Parameters

format
String

A format specification.

provider
IFormatProvider

(Obsolete.)

Returns

The string representation of the value of this instance as specified by format.

Implements

Attributes

Exceptions

format does not contain a valid format specification.

format equals "X", but the enumeration type is unknown.

Remarks

The format parameter can be one of the following format strings: "G" or "g", "D" or "d", "X" or "x", and "F" or "f" (the format string is not case-sensitive). If format is null or an empty string (""), the general format specifier ("G") is used. For more information about the enumeration format strings and formatting enumeration values, see Enumeration Format Strings. For more information about formatting in general, see Formatting Types.

Specify only format; the provider parameter is obsolete.

Examples

The following example demonstrates converting an enumerated value to a string.

using namespace System;
public ref class EnumSample
{
public:
   enum class Colors
   {
      Red = 1,
      Blue = 2
   };

   static void main()
   {
      Enum ^ myColors = Colors::Red;
      Console::WriteLine( "The value of this instance is '{0}'", myColors );
   }

};

int main()
{
   EnumSample::main();
}

/*
Output.
The value of this instance is 'Red'.
*/
using System;

public class EnumSample {
    enum Colors {Red = 1, Blue = 2};

    public static void Main() {
        Enum myColors = Colors.Red;
        Console.WriteLine("The value of this instance is '{0}'",
           myColors.ToString());
    }
}
/*
Output.
The value of this instance is 'Red'.
*/
type Colors =
    | Red = 1
    | Blue = 2

let myColors = Colors.Red
printfn $"The value of this instance is '{myColors.ToString()}'"

// Output.
// The value of this instance is 'Red'.
Public Class EnumSample    
    Enum Colors
        Red = 1
        Blue = 2
    End Enum
    
    Public Shared Sub Main()
        Dim myColors As Colors = Colors.Red
        Console.WriteLine("The value of this instance is '{0}'", _
           myColors.ToString())
    End Sub
End Class

'Output.
'The value of this instance is 'Red'.

Remarks

The return value is formatted with the general format specifier ("G"). That is, if the FlagsAttribute is not applied to this enumerated type and there is a named constant equal to the value of this instance, then the return value is a string containing the name of the constant. If the FlagsAttribute is applied and there is a combination of one or more named constants equal to the value of this instance, then the return value is a string containing a delimiter-separated list of the names of the constants. Otherwise, the return value is the string representation of the numeric value of this instance. For more information about formatting enumeration values, see Enumeration Format Strings. For more information about formatting in general, see Formatting Types.

Notes to Callers

If multiple enumeration members have the same underlying value and you attempt to retrieve the string representation of an enumeration member's name based on its underlying value, your code should not make any assumptions about which name the method will return. For example, the following enumeration defines two members, Shade.Gray and Shade.Grey, that have the same underlying value.

enum Shade
{
    White = 0, Gray = 1, Grey = 1, Black = 2
}
type Shade =
    | White = 0
    | Gray = 1
    | Grey = 1
    | Black = 2
Public Enum Shade
   White = 0
   Gray = 1
   Grey = 1
   Black = 2
End Enum

The following method call attempts to retrieve the name of a member of the Shade enumeration whose underlying value is 1. The method can return either "Gray" or "Grey", and your code should not make any assumptions about which string will be returned.

string shadeName = ((Shade) 1).ToString();
let shadeName = (enum<Shade> 1).ToString()
Dim shadeName As String = CType(1, Shade).ToString()

Notes to Callers

If multiple enumeration members have the same underlying value and you attempt to retrieve the string representation of an enumeration member's name based on its underlying value, your code should not make any assumptions about which name the method will return. For example, the following enumeration defines two members, Shade.Gray and Shade.Grey, that have the same underlying value.

enum Shade
{
    White = 0, Gray = 1, Grey = 1, Black = 2
}
type Shade =

    | Grey = 1
    | Black = 2
Public Enum Shade
   White = 0
   Gray = 1
   Grey = 1
   Black = 2
End Enum

The following method call attempts to retrieve the name of a member of the Shade enumeration whose underlying value is 1. The method can return either "Gray" or "Grey", and your code should not make any assumptions about which string will be returned.

string shadeName = ((Shade) 1).ToString("F");
let shadeName = (enum<Shade> 1).ToString "F"
