Converting Integer to any base

Recently on a coding test , I was given a problem to write a program
that converts an integer to any given base between 2 and 16
(inclusive). I had written it in C# as this code is available to
viewers at

http://www.thinkanddone.com/prog/cs/integer2decimal.html

Hope it finds it use for someone facing the same problem

I would recommend anyone with the same problem to think it over
and find their own solution. And anyone who only needs to convery,
not write a program to convert, to use the one built into the
language. It was made by experts.

It can be done *much* shorter than what you have done.

I am no expert.
