Overrides Object

This method converts the current OracleTimeStampLTZ structure to a string.

Declaration

// C#
public override string ToString();

Return Value

A string that represents the same date and time as the current OracleTimeStampLTZ structure.

Remarks

The returned value is a string representation of the OracleTimeStampLTZ in the format specified by the OracleGlobalization.TimeStampFormat property of the thread.

// C#
 
using System;
using Oracle.DataAccess.Types;
using Oracle.DataAccess.Client;
 
class ToStringSample
{
  static void Main()
  {
    // Set the nls_timestamp_format for the OracleTimeStampLTZ(string)
    // constructor
    OracleGlobalization info = OracleGlobalization.GetClientInfo();
    info.TimeStampFormat = "DD-MON-YYYY HH:MI:SS.FF AM";
    OracleGlobalization.SetThreadInfo(info);
    
    // construct OracleTimeStampLTZ from a string using the format
    // specified.
    OracleTimeStampLTZ ts = 
      new OracleTimeStampLTZ("11-NOV-1999 11:02:33.444 AM");
      
    // Set the nls_timestamp_format for the ToString() method
    info.TimeStampFormat = "YYYY-MON-DD HH:MI:SS.FF AM";
    OracleGlobalization.SetThreadInfo(info);
 
    // Prints "1999-NOV-11 11:02:33.444000000 AM"
    Console.WriteLine(ts.ToString());
