ToString  
Method  
Converts the current Char value to a string
Char Structure
System NameSpace
CF1.  Function ToString ( ) : String ;
CF2.  Function ToString ( UnicodeChar : Char; ) : String;
CF3.  Function ToString ( FormatProvider : IFormatProvider; ) : String;
CF : Methods with this mark are Compact Framework Compatible
Description
The ToString method concerts the current Char value, or the specified UnicodeChar into a string representation.
 
The FormatProvider parameter determines the parsing rules and is beyond the scope of this article.
Notes
ToString without parameters is a method inherited from the base System.Object (TObject) class. It provides a ready method for classes to convert their content into a string format.

Static methods are not methods of an object - they are simply class functions or procedures available at any time.
