Is there a method in Sitecore's utilities to format a numerical file size in a friendly way?

The title pretty much says it all. I feel like I've come across a method in the past that does something like:



long fileSize = 524288000;

string prettyFileSize = Sitecore.SomeUtility.ConvertPrettyFileSize(fileSize);


Resulting in prettyFileSize containing "512MB".

          You are correct, you probably have come across this. The Sitecore.StringUtil, Sitecore.Kernel class contains a number of methods for managing strings.



          The two methods in particular are:



          StringUtil.GetSizeString(long size)



          This method takes in a long value 524288000, and returns a string representation of "512MB"



          StringUtil.ParseSizeString(string value)



          This method takes in a string value like "512MB" and returns the long representation of that size, 524288000.



          An Example:



              using Sitecore;
          

          
    public long GetLongValue(string valueSize)
          
    {
          
       return StringUtil.ParseSizeString(valueSize);
          
    }
          

          
    public string GetStringSize(long size)
          
    {
          
       return StringUtil.GetSizeString(size);
          
    }
