String. Format: the signature of the load method is as follows:

1 public static string Format(2     IFormatProvider provider,3     string format,4     params Object[] args5 )

You can use the custom IFormatProvider interface to control specific behaviors during String. Format execution.

 

The procedure is as follows:

1. Implement the IFormatProvider interface (object GetFormat method) for the custom class)

1 public object GetFormat(Type formatType)2 {3     if (formatType == typeof(ICustomFormatter))4         return this;5     else6         return null;7 }

 

2. Implementation of ICustomFormatter (string Format method)

From MSDN. Function is used to control the string output of Int64 type.

 1 public string Format(string fmt, object arg, IFormatProvider formatProvider) 2 { 3     // Provide default formatting if arg is not an Int64.  4     if (arg.GetType() != typeof(Int64)) 5         try 6         { 7             return HandleOtherFormats(fmt, arg); 8         } 9         catch (FormatException e)10         {11             throw new FormatException(String.Format("The format of '{0}' is invalid.", fmt), e);12         }13 14     // Provide default formatting for unsupported format strings. 15     string ufmt = fmt.ToUpper(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);16     if (!(ufmt == "H" || ufmt == "I"))17         try18         {19             return HandleOtherFormats(fmt, arg);20         }21         catch (FormatException e)22         {23             throw new FormatException(String.Format("The format of '{0}' is invalid.", fmt), e);24         }25 26     // Convert argument to a string. 27     string result = arg.ToString();28 29     // If account number is less than 12 characters, pad with leading zeroes. 30     if (result.Length < ACCT_LENGTH)31         result = result.PadLeft(ACCT_LENGTH, '0');32     // If account number is more than 12 characters, truncate to 12 characters. 33     if (result.Length > ACCT_LENGTH)34         result = result.Substring(0, ACCT_LENGTH);35 36     if (ufmt == "I")                    // Integer-only format.  37         return result;38     // Add hyphens for H format specifier. 39     else                                          // Hyphenated format. 40         return result.Substring(0, 5) + "-" + result.Substring(5, 3) + "-" + result.Substring(8);41 }

 

Use the implemented Format class

 1 long acctNumber; 2 double balance; 3 DaysOfWeek wday; 4 string output; 5  6 acctNumber = 104254567890; 7 balance = 16.34; 8 wday = DaysOfWeek.Monday; 9 10 output = String.Format((new AcctNumberFormat(),11                        "On {2}, the balance of account {0:H} was {1:C2}.",12                        acctNumber, balance, wday);13 Console.WriteLine(output);

 

The execution result is as follows:
