IFormattable cũng bao gồm một nhà cung cấp định dạng có thể được sử dụng, nó cho phép cả định dạng của IFormatProvider đều rỗng trong dotnet 4.0, điều này sẽ là
/// <summary>
/// Extentionclass for a nullable structs
/// </summary>
public static class NullableStructExtensions {
/// <summary>
/// Formats a nullable struct
/// </summary>
/// <param name="source"></param>
/// <param name="format">The format string
/// If <c>null</c> use the default format defined for the type of the IFormattable implementation.</param>
/// <param name="provider">The format provider
/// If <c>null</c> the default provider is used</param>
/// <param name="defaultValue">The string to show when the source is <c>null</c>.
/// If <c>null</c> an empty string is returned</param>
/// <returns>The formatted string or the default value if the source is <c>null</c></returns>
public static string ToString<T>(this T? source, string format = null,
IFormatProvider provider = null,
string defaultValue = null)
where T : struct, IFormattable {
return source.HasValue
? source.Value.ToString(format, provider)
: (String.IsNullOrEmpty(defaultValue) ? String.Empty : defaultValue);
}
}
sử dụng cùng với các tham số được đặt tên bạn có thể làm:
dt2.ToString (defaultValue: "n / a");
Trong các phiên bản cũ hơn của dotnet, bạn sẽ nhận được rất nhiều quá tải
