Difference between Convert.tostring() and .tostring()

Hi

Carrying on from this question What is the difference between Convert and Parse?

Here are two lines of code.

Convert.ToString(myObject);
myObject.ToString();

My question is what is the difference and which would be best to use?

Thank you in advance.

Answer 1

The basic difference between them is Convert function handles NULLs while i.ToString()
does not. It will throw a NULL reference exception error. So, as good coding practice using
Convert is always safe.
