Hello toString() : when you declare string variable and if you dont provide value than it will throw exception I mean variable should not be blank convert.toString() : It takes default null value at a time of use And if conversion of value will be remain blank than it will not generate any exception It is main difference i have faced during development Example : String stringvalue = null; Console.WriteLine(stringvalue.ToString()); // It will throw exception Console.WriteLine(Convert.ToString(stringvalue)); // Allow null values Console.ReadKey(); For more information , you can follow : http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/blogs/difference-between-tostring-and-converttostring-in-c-sharp1 https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/bf118337-6dbd-4edd-9147-fbbcba7ce6c5/what-is-the-difference-between-converttostring-and-tostring?forum=csharpgeneral Thanks
