Every object has its own public override string ToString(){ return string; } method. But we can achieve the same with a custom method. Then why have a separate override string method?

    If you want to have some string method in your own classes but you do not need this method working on other classes, please, do not EVER use ToString() for that purpose. It will be a nightmare when you somebody will try to find why some particular ToString methods are overriden and have smth like : 

    override string ToString()
{
     return "Some very cryptic text"; 
}

    It won’t be easy to guess why cryptic text should be returned here and where it is used. So do not override ToString for production purposes. Only for debugging/testing.
