How to Conditionally Format a String in .Net?

Question

I would like to do some condition formatting of strings. I know that you can do some conditional formatting of integers and floats as follows:

Int32 i = 0;
         


        

Answer 1

Not within String.Format(), but you could use C#'s inline operators, such as:

return items.Count > 0 
       ? String.Format("Items: {0}; Values: {1}", itemList, valueList)
       : String.Format("Values: {0}", valueList);           

This would help tidy-up the code.
