Difference between .ToString and “as string” in C#

There is a simple but important difference between these three…
ToString() raise exception when the object is null
So in the case of object.ToString(), if object is null, it raise NullReferenceException.
Convert.ToString() return string.Empty in case of null object
(string) cast assign the object in case of null
So in case of
MyObject o = (string)NullObject;
But when you use o to access any property, it will raise NullReferenceException.
