String Format Function (C#.net)

Represents a string of your specified format.

For Example:

            // Format a ratio as a percentage string.

            // .. You must specify the percentage symbol in the format string.

            // .. It will multiply the value by 100 for you.

            //

            double ratio = 0.73;

            MessageBox.Show(string.Format("{0:0.0%}",ratio));

Output:

                73.0% (Multiplying the 0.73 with 100 to make it 73%)

Another Example:

    

 int day = DateTime.Now.Day;

        int month = DateTime.Now.Month;

        int year = DateTime.Now.Year;

        MessageBox.Show(string.Format("{0} - {0} - {2:yyyy}", day, month, year.ToString()));

Output:

               9 - 8 - 2010 (Printing Currents Day-month-year)
