I don't know of any single book that covers all the .Net framework.  It is simply too 
big IMHO for
anything to be a comprehensive reference for everything and still allow you to pick it 
up.  ;-)

The object base class supports a method called ToString().  String.Format() provides 
more
formatting options.

I would suggest picking up a copy of Eric Gunnerson's book "A Programmers Introduction 
to C#" to
get started, and covers all that type of thing.  It also makes a good reference.

This is certainly a good place to ask.
