Code Snippet

private String Number2String(int number, bool isCaps)

{

    Char c = (Char)((isCaps ? 65 : 97) + (number - 1));

    return c.ToString();

}

private String Number2String(int number, bool isCaps)

{

    Char c = (Char)((isCaps ? 64 : 96) + number);

    return c.ToString();

}

No point in doing - 1.

If you want 0 to be A then start at 65 for caps, 97 for lower.

Edit:

After some messing around, I've come up with the perfect method:

public static string numberToAlpha(long number, bool isLower = false)
{
    string returnVal = "";
    char c = isLower ? 'a' : 'A';
    while (number >= 0)
    {
        returnVal = (char)(c + number % 26) + returnVal;
        number /= 26;
        number--;
    }

    return returnVal;
}
