Thank you Fat Angus for having a post like this available for all to use.  I just happened to need a file size format routine, and Viola, Fat Angus has it!

I've put the code within the post to ensure I can still get to it later.

public class FileHelper
{
    private static readonly long kilobyte = 1024; 
    private static readonly long megabyte = 1024 * kilobyte; 
    private static readonly long gigabyte = 1024 * megabyte; 
    private static readonly long terabyte = 1024 * gigabyte;
    public static string ToByteString(long bytes)
    {
        if (bytes > terabyte)
            return (bytes / terabyte).ToString("0.00 TB");
        else if (bytes > gigabyte) return (bytes / gigabyte).ToString("0.00 GB");
        else if (bytes > megabyte) return (bytes / megabyte).ToString("0.00 MB"); 
        else if (bytes > kilobyte) return (bytes / kilobyte).ToString("0.00 KB"); 
        else return bytes + " Bytes";
    }
}
