What is the difference between convert.tostring and .tostring()

 Just to give an understanding of what the above question means seethe below code.
int i =0;
MessageBox.Show(i.ToString());
MessageBox.Show(Convert.ToString(i));
We can convert the integer “i” using “i.ToString()” or “Convert.ToString” so what’s the difference.
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.
