❔ How to correctly write this linq query?

I have following code:

private string FormatLocalDateLong(LocalDate localDate)
    => localDate
          .ToString( "dd.MM.yyyy", _ruCulture );

private string FormatLocalDateLong(LocalDate localDate)
    => localDate
          .ToString( "dd.MM.yyyy", _ruCulture );

I decided to extand function and did this:

private string FormatLocalDateLong( LocalDate localDate )
   => localDate
        .ToString( "dd.MM.yyyy", _ruCulture )
        .FormatResolvedValues();

public static string FormatResolvedValues( this string localDate )
        => localDate.EndsWith( "9999" )
            ? "/"
            : localDate;

private string FormatLocalDateLong( LocalDate localDate )
   => localDate
        .ToString( "dd.MM.yyyy", _ruCulture )
        .FormatResolvedValues();

public static string FormatResolvedValues( this string localDate )
        => localDate.EndsWith( "9999" )
            ? "/"
            : localDate;

All I want is to write the same without extansion FormatResolvedValues Smth like that but I don't understand how to write it correctly:

private string FormatLocalDateLong( LocalDate localDate )
   => localDate
        .ToString( "dd.MM.yyyy", _ruCulture )
        .EndsWith("9999")
             ? "/"
             : ... (I don't want to write .ToString() again);

private string FormatLocalDateLong( LocalDate localDate )
   => localDate
        .ToString( "dd.MM.yyyy", _ruCulture )
        .EndsWith("9999")
             ? "/"
             : ... (I don't want to write .ToString() again);

ah.. I don't know why.. but FormatLoclDateLong returns "/" or null ..

Tvde1•3y ago

private string FormatLocalDateLong( LocalDate localDate )
{
    var stringDate = localDate.ToString( "dd.MM.yyyy", _ruCulture );
    return stringDate.EndsWith("9999")
         ? "/"
         : stringDate;
}

private string FormatLocalDateLong( LocalDate localDate )
{
    var stringDate = localDate.ToString( "dd.MM.yyyy", _ruCulture );
    return stringDate.EndsWith("9999")
         ? "/"
         : stringDate;
}

🙂 or

private string FormatLocalDateLong( LocalDate localDate )
{
    return localDate.Year == 9999
        ? "/"
        : localDate.ToString( "dd.MM.yyyy", _ruCulture );
}

private string FormatLocalDateLong( LocalDate localDate )
{
    return localDate.Year == 9999
        ? "/"
        : localDate.ToString( "dd.MM.yyyy", _ruCulture );
}

I hadn't thought of that! thanks but any way I don't understand why my extension method returns null. it's strange
