ToString Format

Is there a way to call Integer.FormatString(format) that will return
the integer value along with its symbol?

Integer 56 should return "+56"
Integer -34 should return "-34"

Use a format with separate sections for positive and negative numbers:

string s = num.ToString("+0;-0");

.... or:
