ing GetKNotation(long value)
{
    string[] suffix = {"", "K","M", "B", "T"}; 
    int power = 1;
    while (Math.Pow(10, power) < value)
        power++;
    power--; //was one greater than what we needed
 
    return (value / (long)Math.Pow(10, power)).ToString() + suffix[power/3];
}

above function does rounding off of values and that too not correctly.Basically it doesn't take into consideration the decimal values!
