Okay, so I wrote this program from an exercise in a C# programming book (I'm trying to learn here) and it asks for "Override the ToString() method to return all data members".

Have I done this correctly? Or have I just successfully written code that compiles but does nothing? What is the purpose of ToString?

I have spent about 30 minutes looking at other posts on this and haven't figured it out, so I decided to make this.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;

namespace ConsoleApplication297
{
  class Program
  {
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
      String name = "Stormtrooper";
      Employee s = new Employee(name);
      Console.WriteLine("The type of hire is a {0}", s.Name);
      Console.WriteLine("The identification number is {0}", s.Number);
      Console.WriteLine("The date of hire is {0} ABY", s.Date);
      Console.WriteLine("The standard galactic salary is...{0:C}", s.Salary);

    }

    class Employee
    {
      private string _name;
      private string _number;
      private int _date;
      private int _salary;
      public string Name
      {
        get
        {
          return _name;
        }
      }

      public string Number
      {
        get
        {
          return _number;
        }
      }

      public int Date
      {
        get
        {
          return _date;
        }
      }
      public int Salary
      {
        get
        {
          return _salary;
        }
      }
      public Employee(string n)
      {
        _name = n;
        _number = "AA23TK421";
        _date = 4;
        _salary = 800;
      }
    }

    public override string ToString()
    {
      return "_name + _number + _date + _salary".ToString();
    }
  }
}
