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












7














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".

          The two methods in particular are:

          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);
          }
