String override question

Is it possible to change this function into
a string override? So I could just say
d.ToString()
Patrick

private string reformat(double d)
{
NumberFormatInf o nfi = new CultureInfo("") .NumberFormat;
nfi.NumberDecim alSeparator="." ;
nfi.NumberGroup Separator="";
return d.ToString( "N", nfi ) ;
}

Patrick,

a string override? So I could just say
d.ToString()


No, since you can't derive from Double (or any other value type).

You could possibly define your own struct with an implicit conversion
operator from double, and then write your own ToString implementation
for it.

I'm looking for some kind of simple string compression code I can use. I'm not looking for SharpZipLib. Their implimentation spans several classes and is very complex. I'm just looking for something simple. A single class, preferrably. Does such a thing exist? Thanks, Chris

Hello, yes another beginner question that I'm sure is obvious to many here :-) My book is so bad. Really.

I've read this (short snippet)three times and by the looks of it they both do exactly the same thing- allow you to derive from the base and save...

Hi all. I have a question about virtual and override methods. Please forgive the elementary nature! First off, let me quote Programming in the Key of C#: "Any virtual method overridden with 'override' remains a virtual method for further descendent classes." Now here's my question: Let's say you have base class A, and subclasses B and C. Class A contains a virtual method, and B contains an override method. If C didn't have an...
