我的观点是:

千字节的前缀是kB(小写K) 由于这些函数用于表示目的，因此应该提供区域性，例如:CurrentCulture,“{0时。##}{1}"，文件大小，单位); 根据上下文，千字节可以是1000字节或1024字节。MB、GB等也是如此。

我喜欢使用以下方法(它支持高达tb，这在大多数情况下已经足够了，但它可以很容易地扩展):

private string GetSizeString(long length)
{
    long B = 0, KB = 1024, MB = KB * 1024, GB = MB * 1024, TB = GB * 1024;
    double size = length;
    string suffix = nameof(B);

    if (length >= TB) {
        size = Math.Round((double)length / TB, 2);
        suffix = nameof(TB);
    }
    else if (length >= GB) {
        size = Math.Round((double)length / GB, 2);
        suffix = nameof(GB);
    }
    else if (length >= MB) {
        size = Math.Round((double)length / MB, 2);
        suffix = nameof(MB);
    }
    else if (length >= KB) {
        size = Math.Round((double)length / KB, 2);
        suffix = nameof(KB);
    }

    return $"{size} {suffix}";
}

请记住，这是为c# 6.0(2015)编写的，因此对于较早的版本可能需要进行一些编辑。

string[] suffixes = { "B", "KB", "MB", "GB", "TB", "PB", "EB", "ZB", "YB" };
int s = 0;
long size = fileInfo.Length;

while (size >= 1024)
{
    s++;
    size /= 1024;
}

string humanReadable = String.Format("{0} {1}", size, suffixes[s]);

我使用下面的Long扩展方法将其转换为人类可读的大小字符串。这个方法是在Stack Overflow上发布的相同问题的Java解决方案的c#实现。

/// <summary>
/// Convert a byte count into a human readable size string.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="bytes">The byte count.</param>
/// <param name="si">Whether or not to use SI units.</param>
/// <returns>A human readable size string.</returns>
public static string ToHumanReadableByteCount(
    this long bytes
    , bool si
)
{
    var unit = si
        ? 1000
        : 1024;

    if (bytes < unit)
    {
        return $"{bytes} B";
    }

    var exp = (int) (Math.Log(bytes) / Math.Log(unit));

    return $"{bytes / Math.Pow(unit, exp):F2} " +
           $"{(si ? "kMGTPE" : "KMGTPE")[exp - 1] + (si ? string.Empty : "i")}B";
}

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);
}

[DllImport ( "Shlwapi.dll", CharSet = CharSet.Auto )]
public static extern long StrFormatByteSize ( 
        long fileSize
        , [MarshalAs ( UnmanagedType.LPTStr )] StringBuilder buffer
        , int bufferSize );


/// <summary>

public static string StrFormatByteSize (long filesize) {
     StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder( 11 );
     StrFormatByteSize( filesize, sb, sb.Capacity );
     return sb.ToString();
}
