Parameters

format

A standard or custom format string (see Remarks).

Return Value

The format parameter should contain either a standard format specifier or a custom format pattern that defines the format of the returned string. If format is null or an empty string, the general format specifier, 'G', is used.

This method uses formatting information derived from the current culture.

Due to overload conflict, the actual name of this method becomes ToString_3.
