How is ToString implemented in System.Object

[Tony Johansson]

Hello!

I just curious how method ToString actually look like in System.Object. I
mean the actual code.
Does anyone have this kind of information or how it can look like.

Class Object
{
public virtual string ToString()
{

}
}

I have not decompiled the actual code in the Framework, but it could
easily be something similar to this:

public class Object
{
public virtual string ToString()
{
return this.GetType().Name;
}
}

Perhaps like this, so that if ToString is not implimented in the base
class, that it ruturns the classname:
public virtual string ToString()
{
return this.GetType().ToString();
}

Doh! Alberto is correct, to use .Name() where I had .ToString().

Almost right I have checked it is
public class Object
{
public virtual string ToString()
{
return this.GetType().FullName;
}
}
