Convert a list to a string in C#

Question

How do I convert a list to a string in C#?

When I execute toString on a List object, I get:

System.Collections.Generic.List`1[System.String]

Maybe you are trying to do:

string combinedString = string.Join( ",", myList.ToArray() );

You can replace , with whatever character you want to split the elements in the list by.

Also, as mentioned in the comments you could also do:

string combinedString = string.Join( ",", myList);

Reference:

Join<T>(String, IEnumerable<T>)

Concatenates the members of a constructed IEnumerable collection of type String, using the specified separator between each member.
