Sounds suspiciously like homework to me...

The details of object.ToString and Convert.ToString(object) can all be found
on MSDN2 very easily. The former will always throw an exception if object is
null, the latter may/may-not depending on the exact formatter used (in the
overloaded form) [EFR].

(string)object is a simple cast of the object to a string, so if object is
null this will always succeed (since string is a reference type, and
reference types can always accept null values). I wouldn't say it doesn't
"flow exception", simply because there *is* no exception to flow in this
case - however, it doesn't throw one, if that's what the question is.

Or just say that the dog ate it ;-p

(apols if I am wrong about the howework thing, but I'm feeling cynic today)

which one will not flow exception? all of them can throw exception,
however, AFAIR of object is equal to null then (string)object will return
null.

Convert.ToString(object) tries to convert object into string. For this it
first checks if
object supports convesion intefaces IConvertible and IFormattable and if not
calls object.ToString() method.

object.ToString(). if underlying type overrides ToString() method then it is
used to obtain string value. If this method is not overriden then default
object.ToString() is used, this method will return object's type name
object.GetType().ToString();
