Return Value

Type: System.String
The string representation of this Tuple<T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, T6, T7> object.

Remarks

The string returned by this method takes the form (Item1, Item2, Item3, Item4, Item5, Item6, Item7), where Item1, Item2, Item3, Item4, Item5, Item6, and Item7 represent the values of the Item1, Item2, Item3, Item4, Item5, Item6, and Item7 properties, respectively. If any of the property values is nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic), it is represented as String.Empty.

Examples

The following example defines a Tuple<T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, T6, T7> object that contains population data for New York City for each census from 1950 through 2000. The components of the sextuple are then displayed by a call to the ToString method.

Module Example
   Public Sub Demo(ByVal outputBlock As System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock)
      ' Get population data for New York City, 1960-2000.
      Dim population = Tuple.Create("New York", 7891957, 7781984, _ 
                                    7894862, 7071639, 7322564, 8008278)
      outputBlock.Text &= population.ToString() & vbCrLf
   End Sub
End Module
' The example displays the following output:
'       (New York, 7891957, 7781984, 7894862, 7071639, 7322564, 8008278)
using System;

public class Example
{
   public static void Demo(System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock outputBlock)
   {
      // Get population data for New York City, 1960-2000.
      var population = Tuple.Create("New York", 7891957, 7781984,
                                    7894862, 7071639, 7322564, 8008278);
      outputBlock.Text += population.ToString() + "\n";
   }
}
// The example displays the following output:
//    (New York, 7891957, 7781984, 7894862, 7071639, 7322564, 8008278)
