using Log to solve the problem

static String BytesToString(long byteCount)
{
string[] suf = { “B”, “KB”, “MB”, “GB”, “TB”, “PB”, “EB” }; //Longs run out around EB
if (byteCount == 0)
return “0” + suf[0];

long bytes = Math.Abs(byteCount);
int place = Convert.ToInt32(Math.Floor(Math.Log(bytes, 1024)));
double num = Math.Round(bytes / Math.Pow(1024, place), 1);
return (Math.Sign(byteCount) * num).ToString() + suf[place];
}

Another solution

This may not the most efficient way to do it, but it’s easier to read if you are not familiar with log maths, and should be fast enough for most scenarios.

string[] sizes = { “B”, “KB”, “MB”, “GB”, “TB” };
double len = new FileInfo(filename).Length;
int order = 0;
while (len >= 1024 && order < sizes.Length – 1) {
order++;
len = len/1024;
}

// Adjust the format string to your preferences. For example “{0:0.#}{1}” would

// show a single decimal place, and no space.

string result = String.Format(“{0:0.##} {1}”, len, sizes[order]);
