Answer 1

Of course you can use Array.ConvertAll method. You just need a conversation which can be done easyly with lambda expression.

string[] string_array = Array.ConvertAll(decimal_array, x => x.ToString());

Array.ConvertAll converts an entire array. It converts all elements in one array to another type.

Let's code it;

decimal[] decimal_array = new decimal[] {1.1M, 1.2M, 1.3M, 1.4M };
string[] string_array = Array.ConvertAll(decimal_array, x => x.ToString());

foreach (var item in string_array)
{
      Console.WriteLine("{0} - {1}", item.GetType(), item);
}

Output will be;

System.String - 1.1
System.String - 1.2
System.String - 1.3
System.String - 1.4

Here is a DEMO.
