Examples

The following example demonstrates calling the ToString method. This example is part of a larger example provided for the StringBuilder class.

// Display the number of characters in the StringBuilder and its string.
Console.WriteLine("{0} chars: {1}", sb.Length, sb.ToString());
// Display the number of characters in the StringBuilder and its string.
printfn $"{sb.Length} chars: {sb}"
' Display the number of characters in the StringBuilder and its string.
Console.WriteLine("{0} chars: {1}", sb.Length, sb.ToString())

Remarks

You must call the ToString method to convert the StringBuilder object to a String object before you can pass the string represented by the StringBuilder object to a method that has a String parameter or display it in the user interface.
