ToString (ByPtr)Method

Applies to:Fast Math Parser
Class:uCalc.DataType
Retuns a string representing the value at the given address formatted for the given data type
Syntax
ToString(ValuePtr)
Parameters
ValuePtr
Pointer
Pointer of the data who's value you want to display
Returns
Type: String
Retuns a string representing the value at the given address formatted for the given data type
Remarks
If you have a Pointer to data of the given type, you can display this data as a string with this function. Special formatting associated with a data type is used, if such formatting was defined. For instance, if you're dealing with a Boolean, then you might get: True, Yes, On, etc, depending on how the formatting was configured with SetOutput .
Example 1: Dealing with various data types in a callback 

Sub MyFunctionCB(ByVal ExprPartPtr As IntPtr)
   Dim ExprPart As New uCalc.Callback(ExprPartPtr)
   Dim ucc = ExprPart.GetuCalc()

   Console.WriteLine(ExprPart.ArgInt32(1)) ' Returns 1230
   Console.WriteLine(ExprPart.ArgInt64(2)) ' Returns 2

   Console.WriteLine(ucc.GetItemOf("Int8").GetDataType().ToString(ExprPart.ArgAddr(3))) ' Returns -1
   Console.WriteLine(ucc.GetItemOf("Int").GetDataType().ToString(ExprPart.ArgPtr(4))) ' Returns 123
End Sub

Sub MyFunctionCallback()
   uc.DefineVariable("x As Int = 123")
   uc.DefineVariable("xPtr As Int Ptr = AddressOf(x)")
   uc.DefineFunction("MyFunc(a As Int32, b As Int64, c As Byte, d As Int Ptr)", uc.PinAddr(AddressOf MyFunctionCB))
   uc.Eval("MyFunc(x*10, 1+1, 255, xPtr)")
End Sub

   Console.WriteLine(ExprPart.ArgInt64(2)); // Returns 2;
   
   Console.WriteLine(ucc.GetItemOf("Int8").GetDataType().ToString(ExprPart.ArgAddr(3))); // Returns -1;
