下面是@ deepe1的BigInteger版本的答案，它绕过了long的大小限制(因此支持yottabyte和理论上的任何后面的限制):

public static string ToBytesString(this BigInteger byteCount, string format = "N3")
{
    string[] suf = { "B", "KiB", "MiB", "GiB", "TiB", "PiB", "EiB", "YiB" };
    if (byteCount.IsZero)
    {
        return $"{0.0.ToString(format)} {suf[0]}";
    }

    var abs = BigInteger.Abs(byteCount);
    var place = Convert.ToInt32(Math.Floor(BigInteger.Log(abs, 1024)));
    var pow = Math.Pow(1024, place);

    // since we need to do this with integer math, get the quotient and remainder
    var quotient = BigInteger.DivRem(abs, new BigInteger(pow), out var remainder);
    // convert the remainder to a ratio and add both back together as doubles
    var num = byteCount.Sign * (Math.Floor((double)quotient) + ((double)remainder / pow));

    return $"{num.ToString(format)} {suf[place]}";
}

如果你试图匹配Windows资源管理器的详细信息视图中显示的大小，这是你想要的代码:

[DllImport("shlwapi.dll", CharSet = CharSet.Unicode)]
private static extern long StrFormatKBSize(
    long qdw,
    [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPTStr)] StringBuilder pszBuf,
    int cchBuf);

public static string BytesToString(long byteCount)
{
    var sb = new StringBuilder(32);
    StrFormatKBSize(byteCount, sb, sb.Capacity);
    return sb.ToString();
}

这不仅会与资源管理器完全匹配，而且还会为您提供翻译后的字符串，并匹配Windows版本的差异(例如在Win10中，K = 1000 vs.之前的版本K = 1024)。

那么递归呢:

private static string ReturnSize(double size, string sizeLabel)
{
  if (size > 1024)
  {
    if (sizeLabel.Length == 0)
      return ReturnSize(size / 1024, "KB");
    else if (sizeLabel == "KB")
      return ReturnSize(size / 1024, "MB");
    else if (sizeLabel == "MB")
      return ReturnSize(size / 1024, "GB");
    else if (sizeLabel == "GB")
      return ReturnSize(size / 1024, "TB");
    else
      return ReturnSize(size / 1024, "PB");
  }
  else
  {
    if (sizeLabel.Length > 0)
      return string.Concat(size.ToString("0.00"), sizeLabel);
    else
      return string.Concat(size.ToString("0.00"), "Bytes");
  }
}

然后你称之为:

return ReturnSize(size, string.Empty);

比如@NET3的解决方案。使用shift而不是除法来测试字节的范围，因为除法占用更多的CPU成本。

private static readonly string[] UNITS = new string[] { "B", "KB", "MB", "GB", "TB", "PB", "EB" };

public static string FormatSize(ulong bytes)
{
    int c = 0;
    for (c = 0; c < UNITS.Length; c++)
    {
        ulong m = (ulong)1 << ((c + 1) * 10);
        if (bytes < m)
            break;
    }

    double n = bytes / (double)((ulong)1 << (c * 10));
    return string.Format("{0:0.##} {1}", n, UNITS[c]);
}

下面是一个自动确定单位的简明答案。

public static string ToBytesCount(this long bytes)
{
    int unit = 1024;
    string unitStr = "B";
    if (bytes < unit)
    {
        return string.Format("{0} {1}", bytes, unitStr);
    }
    int exp = (int)(Math.Log(bytes) / Math.Log(unit));
    return string.Format("{0:##.##} {1}{2}", bytes / Math.Pow(unit, exp), "KMGTPEZY"[exp - 1], unitStr);
}

“b”代表bit，“b”代表Byte，“KMGTPEZY”分别代表kilo, mega, giga, tera, peta, exa, zetta和yotta

可以将ISO/IEC80000纳入考虑范围:

public static string ToBytesCount(this long bytes, bool isISO = true)
{
    int unit = isISO ? 1024 : 1000;
    string unitStr = "B";
    if (bytes < unit)
    {
        return string.Format("{0} {1}", bytes, unitStr);
    }
    int exp = (int)(Math.Log(bytes) / Math.Log(unit));
    return string.Format("{0:##.##} {1}{2}{3}", bytes / Math.Pow(unit, exp), "KMGTPEZY"[exp - 1], isISO ? "i" : "", unitStr);
}

下面是一个Log10的方法:

using System;

class Program {
   static string NumberFormat(double n) {
      var n2 = (int)Math.Log10(n) / 3;
      var n3 = n / Math.Pow(1e3, n2);
      return String.Format("{0:f3}", n3) + new[]{"", " k", " M", " G"}[n2];
   }

   static void Main() {
      var s = NumberFormat(9012345678);
      Console.WriteLine(s == "9.012 G");
   }
}
