This method is used to returns the specified string instance and no actual conversion is performed.
Syntax:
public static string ToString (String, IFormatProvider);
Parameters:
- value: It is the string to return.
- provider: It is an object that supplies culture-specific formatting information. This parameter is ignored.
Return Value: This method returns value is returned unchanged.
Below programs illustrate the use of Convert.ToString(String, IFormatProvider) Method:
Example 1:
// C# program to demonstrate the
// Convert.ToString() Method
using System;
using System.Globalization;
class GFG {
// Main Method
public static void Main()
{
try {
// creating object of CultureInfo
CultureInfo cultures =
new CultureInfo("en-US");
// declaring and initializing String array
string[] values = {"amar", "akbar",
"anthony"};
// calling get() Method
Console.Write("Converted string value"
+ " from a specified string: ");
for (int j = 0; j < values.Length; j++)
{
get(values[j], cultures);
}
}
catch (FormatException e)
{
Console.WriteLine("\n");
Console.Write("Exception Thrown: ");
Console.Write("{0}", e.GetType(), e.Message);
}
catch (OverflowException e)
{
Console.WriteLine("\n");
Console.Write("Exception Thrown: ");
Console.Write("{0}", e.GetType(), e.Message);
}
}
// Defining get() method
public static void get(string s,
CultureInfo cultures)
{
// converting string to specified string
string val = Convert.ToString(s, cultures);
// display the converted string value
Console.Write(" {0} ", val);
}
}
Output:
Converted string value from a specified string: amar akbar anthony
Example 2:
// C# program to demonstrate the
// Convert.ToString() Method
using System;
using System.Globalization;
class GFG {
// Main Method
public static void Main()
{
// creating object of CultureInfo
CultureInfo cultures =
new CultureInfo("en-US");
// declaring and initializing a String array
string value = "The Accidental Prime Minister";
// calling get() Method
Console.Write("Converted String: ");
// converting string to specified string
string val = Convert.ToString(value, cultures);
// display the converted string value
Console.Write("{0}", val);
}
}
Output:
Converted String: The Accidental Prime Minister
