Quickest way to convert a base 10 number to any base in .NET?

Yep, Convert.ToString only supports base 2, 8, 10, 16.

i'm not sure about this one, it uses while loop. i need a lot of performance so i would use the mathematic method

How do you, mathematically, convert between base 2 and base 10? Without using a loop

I think using a List instead of a StringBuilder would be more efficient there:

var result = new List<char>();
// ...
result.Add(...);
// ...
return string.Concat(result.AsEnumerable().Reverse());

var result = new List<char>();
// ...
result.Add(...);
// ...
return string.Concat(result.AsEnumerable().Reverse());

That avoids having to constantly shuffle stuff around in the StringBuilder to make more room at the front
