The Difference between Convert.toString and .toString()

Hi,


int m =0;
MessageBox.Show(m.ToString());
MessageBox.Show(Convert.ToString(m));

The basic difference between them is "Convert" function handles NULLS while
"m.ToString()" does not it will throw a NULL reference exception error. So as a good coding
practice using "convert" is always safe.
