Format Provider

{
    public object GetFormat(Type formatType)
    {
        return (formatType == typeof(ICustomFormatter)) ? this : null;
    }

    public string Format(string format, object arg, IFormatProvider formatProvider)
    {
        var prefixes = "KMGTPEZY";
        double input = Convert.ToDouble(arg);
        var imax = prefixes.Length - 1;
        var prefix = string.Empty;

        for (var i = 0; i <= imax; i++)
        {
            if (input < 1024)
                break;

            input /= 1024.0;
            prefix = prefixes[i].ToString();
        }

        var result = string.Format("{0:" + format + "} {1}B", input, prefix);
