Parameters

formattable

Provides functionality to format the value of an object into a string representation.

The value of this parameter cannot be null (Nothing in Visual Basic).

format

A standard or custom format string (see Remarks).

The value of this parameter can be null (Nothing in Visual Basic).

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.

This is an extension method (info: C#, VB.NET). In languages that have support for extensions methods (such as C# and VB.NET), you can use the extension method as if it were a regular method on the object that is its first parameter. In other languages (such as with Python.NET), you will call the extension as a static method, and pass it the object on which it acts as its first parameter.
