ToString

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.

The names and abbreviations used for months and days are in the language specified by the DateLanguage and Calendar properties of the thread's OracleGlobalization object. If any of the thread's globalization properties are set to null or an empty string, the client computer's settings are used.

Example

// 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());     
  }
