String override question

[Patrick De Ridder]

Is it possible to change this function into
a string override? So I could just say
d.ToString()
Patrick

private string reformat(double d)
{
NumberFormatInfo nfi = new CultureInfo("").NumberFormat;
nfi.NumberDecimalSeparator=".";
nfi.NumberGroupSeparator="";
return d.ToString( "N", nfi ) ;
}

Patrick,

No, since you can't derive from Double (or any other value type).

You could possibly define your own struct with an implicit conversion
operator from double, and then write your own ToString implementation
for it.
