C# | Byte.ToString Method | Set – 1

This method is used to convert the value of the current Byte object to its equivalent string representation. There are total 4 methods in the overload list of Byte.ToString() Method as follows:

1. ToString(IFormatProvider)
2. ToString(String, IFormatProvider)
3. ToString()
4. ToString(String)

ToString(IFormatProvider)

This method is used to Converts the numeric value of the current Byte object to its equivalent string representation using the specified culture-specific formatting information.

Syntax:

public string ToString (IFormatProvider provider);

Parameters: This method takes an object of type IFormatProvider that supplies culture-specific formatting information.

Return Value: This method returns the string representation of the value of this object in the format specified by the provider parameter.

Below programs illustrate the use of Byte.ToString(IFormatProvider) Method:

Example 1:

// C# program to demonstrate
// Byte.ToString(IFormatProvider)
// Method
using System;
using System.Globalization;

class GFG {

    // Main Method
    public static void Main()
    {
        // declaring and initializing bytevalue
        byte byteValue = 15;

        // creating and initializing
        // the object of CultureInfo
        CultureInfo provider = new CultureInfo("en-us");

        // getting the value
        // using ToString()
        string value = byteValue.ToString(provider);

        // Display the value
        Console.WriteLine("value is {0} and provider is {1}",
                                       value, provider.Name);
    }
}

Output:

value is 15 and provider is en-US

Byte.ToString(String, IFormatProvider) Method

This method is used to convert the value of the current Byte object to its equivalent string representation using the specified format and culture-specific formatting information.

Syntax:

public string ToString (string format, IFormatProvider provider);

Parameters:

format: It is a standard or custom numeric format string.
provider: It is an object that supplies culture-specific formatting information.

Return Value: This method returns the string representation of the value of this object in the format specified by the provider parameter.

Exceptions: This method will give FormatException if the format includes an unsupported specifier.

Below programs illustrate the use of Byte.ToString(String, IFormatProvider) Method:

Example 1:

// C# program to demonstrate the
// Byte.ToString(String, IFormatProvider)
// Method
using System;
using System.Globalization;

class GFG {

    // Main Method
    public static void Main()
    {

        // declaring and initializing bytevalue
        byte byteValue = 15;

        // creating and initializing
        // the object of CultureInfo
        CultureInfo provider = new CultureInfo("fr-FR");

        // declaring and initializing format
        string format = "D5";

        // getting the value
        // using ToString()
        string value = byteValue.ToString(format, provider);

        // Display the value
        Console.WriteLine("value is {0} and provider is {1}",
                                      value, provider.Name);
    }
}

Output:

value is 00015 and provider is fr-FR

Example 2: For FormatException

// C# program to demonstrate the
// Byte.ToString(String, IFormatProvider)
// Method
using System;
using System.Globalization;

class GFG {

    // Main Method
    public static void Main()
    {

        try {

            // declaring and initializing bytevalue
            byte byteValue = 15;

            // creating and initializing
            // the object of CultureInfo
            CultureInfo provider = new CultureInfo("fr-FR");

            // declaring and initializing format
            string format = "s5";

            // getting the value
            // using ToString()
            Console.WriteLine("format is invalid");
            string value = byteValue.ToString(format, provider);

            // Display the value
            Console.WriteLine("value is {0} and provider is {1}",
                                           value, provider.Name);
        }
        catch (FormatException e) {

            Console.Write("Exception Thrown: ");
            Console.Write("{0}", e.GetType(), e.Message);
        }
    }
}

Output:

format is invalid
Exception Thrown: System.FormatException

Byte.ToString() Method

This method is used to convert the value of the current Byte object to its equivalent string representation.

Syntax:

public override string ToString ();

Return Value: This method returns the string representation of the value of this object, which consists of a sequence of digits that range from 0 to 9 with no leading zeroes.

Below programs illustrate the use of Byte.ToString() Method:

Example 1:

// C# program to demonstrate
// Byte.ToString() Method
using System;
using System.Globalization;

class GFG {

    // Main Method
    public static void Main()
    {

        // declaring and initializing bytevalue
        byte byteValue = 15;

        // getting the value
        // using ToString()
        string value = byteValue.ToString();

        // Display the value
        Console.WriteLine("value is {0} ", value);
    }
}

Output:

value is 15
