Syntax

Copy

public string ToString(
	IFormatProvider formatProvider,
	string separator = null
)

Public Function ToString ( 
	formatProvider As IFormatProvider,
	Optional separator As String = Nothing
) As String

Parameters

formatProvider: Type: SystemIFormatProvider
The format provider.
separator (Optional): Type: SystemString
The optional separator characters(s) - defaults to "x".

Return Value

Type: String
A string that represents this instance.

Examples

This example shows how to convert a Size instance into a string representation using a format provider and optionally a specific separator parameter. The result is affected by the value of the advanced option: XS_USE_ONLY_INCHES_IN_SHEET_SIZES. In order for this advanced option to work, set the advanced options XS_IMPERIAL and XS_IMPERIAL_INPUT to TRUE. If the advanced option XS_USE_ONLY_INCHES_IN_SHEET_SIZES is set to TRUE the result would display as: 17" * 10"1/2 but if set to FALSE it would display as: 431,8 * 266,7 If not specified, the separator defaults to: x (lower case).

Copy

using Tekla.Structures.Drawing;

public class Example
{
       public void Example1()
       {
           // For this demonstration, we'll format 431.8x266.7 millimeters.
           Size size = new Size(431.8, 266.7);

           var germanCulture = System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture("de-DE");
           string formattedString = size.ToString(germanCulture, " * ");
       }
}
