.............. Un Safe code ...................................
Try
' In this code we will get "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." exception
Dim a As Object
a = Nothing
a.ToString()
Catch ex As NullReferenceException
Response.Write(ex.Message)
End Try
'............... it is a safe code..............................
Dim b As Object
b = Nothing
Convert.ToString(b)
object o=null;
string s;
s=o.toString();
//returns a null reference exception for string s.
string str=convert.tostring(o);
//returns an empty string for string str and does not throw an exception.,it's
//better to use convert.tostring() for good coding
class FormattableType : IFormattable
{
private double value = 0.42;
public string ToString(string format, IFormatProvider formatProvider)
{
if (formatProvider == null)
{
// ... using some IOC-containers
// ... or using CultureInfo.CurrentCulture / Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture
formatProvider = CultureInfo.InvariantCulture;
}
// ... doing things with format
return value.ToString(formatProvider);
}
public override string ToString()
{
return value.ToString();
}
}
结果:
Convert.ToString(new FormattableType()); // 0.42
new FormattableType().ToString(); // 0,42
两者都用于将特定类型转换为 string,即 int 转换为 string、 float 转换为 string 或者将对象转换为 string。
区别:-
如果 Convert.ToString()将处理空值,则 ToString()不能处理空值。
例如:
namespace Marcus
{
class Employee
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
}
class Startup
{
public static void Main()
{
Employee e = new Employee();
e = null;
string s = e.ToString(); // This will throw an null exception
s = Convert.ToString(e); // This will throw null exception but it will be automatically handled by Convert.ToString() and exception will not be shown on command window.
}
}
}
string s;
object o = null;
s = o.ToString();
//returns a null reference exception for s.
string s;
object o = null;
s = Convert.ToString(o);
//returns an empty string for s and does not throw an exception.
