Override .ToString method c#

Question

Okay, so I wrote this program out of the exercise of a C# programming book (I\'m trying to learn here) and it asks for \"Override the ToString() method to return all

Answer 1

Without overiding ToString, if you tried to "get" the string value of an Employee, e.g.

var employee1= new Employee(); Console.WriteLine(employee1);

What you'd get is:

ConsoleApplication1.Program+Employee

Which provides no information at all to help you (or a UI) display relevant information.

I use return _name + _number + _date + _salary; Which defaults to string,

or a more verbose

return "Name:" + _name + " Number:" + _number + " etc...";
