Converting from C++ to C#

[rgarf]

I am converting a C++ application to C#, What in C# replaces the following
C++ functions:
overloaded opertaor=

_ecvt(Math.Abs(val),14,&dec,&sign) ; //this function converts a double to a
string & puts the position of the decimal point & the sign of value in the
dec & sign paramaters, and it lets you specify how many digits you want to
store in the string(14)

I noticed that the C# math library only has an abs() method not a fabs()
method, what would replace the fabs method?

What is used in C# to replace sprintf?

Thanks

Nothing, C# doesn't allow overriding the assignment operator.
_ecvt(Math.Abs(val),14,&dec,&sign) ; //this function converts a double to

dec & sign paramaters, and it lets you specify how many digits you want to
store in the string(14)

I don't understand waht you are asking here.

Math.Abs deals with integers and floating point numbers, does fabs offer
anything else?
What is used in C# to replace sprintf?

String.Format is the closet function.

The _ecvt function converts a double to string. This function stores up to
count digits of a value as a string,
The position of the decimal point and the sign of value can be obtained from
dec and sign after the call.
_ecvt(Math.Abs(val),14,&dec,&sign);
So how can I do this function call in C#, since C# does not have the _ecvt
function.

there is an append function on a string in C++, that appends a string to
another string starting at a specific position & the user can specify how
many elements to append, for example:
str1.append(str2, 1, 2);
What method in C# replaces the C++ append function?

There is a function in C++ to convert an interger to a string:
_itoa(deg, bufdeg, 10) ;
What is used in C# to replace this funtion _itoa?

Thanks

I don't know about how to retreive the sign and decimal point location, but
getting a string is simply an issue of calling ToString on your double
variable.

Depending on what you want, the various String and StringBuilder method's
will do what you want. There isn't one single method

the ToString() method on the int.

You should really read up on the framework, most of these questions are
quite elementary.
