Difference Between Convert.ToString & ToString methods in C# | DotNetCrunch

In this video, we will understand the difference between static Convert.ToString() method and instance ToString() method

The basic difference between them is “Convert.ToString()” handles NULL values while “.ToString()” doesn’t. Which means if the variable being passed to Convert.ToString() is NULL, it won’t throw an exception.

Whereas, “.ToString()” does not handle NULL values and it will throw a NULL reference exception.
