Different between Convert.ToString() vs .ToString()

Vivek Kumar · Answer

Hi Ashish Convert.ToString() handles null  while ToString() doesn't. So it will throw a NULL reference exception error. So as good coding practice using convert is always safe. --------------------------------------------------- If this post helps you mark it as answer

Hi If you declare a string variable and don't assign any value in C#. Then by default it take a blank or null value itself . in this case if u use .ToString() method then our program should throw null reference exception. and in Convert.ToString() our program doesn't throw any exception. bcoz by default it takes a blank value instead of null Reference : http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/blogs/difference-between-tostring-and-converttostring-in-c-sharp1
