Business value

To easily convert the value of simple types to text, you can now use the ToText method on the type—for example, on a Date type.

Feature details

We've added the ToText method to simple types (BigInteger, Boolean, Byte, Date, DateTime, Decimal, Duration, Guid, Integer, Time, Version) for easy conversion to text.

For advanced formatting options, you should continue to use FORMAT.
