It's a simple question; I am a newbie in C#, how can I perform the following

  • I want to convert an array of integers to a comma-separated string.

I have

int[] arr = new int[5] {1,2,3,4,5};

I want to convert it to one string

string => "1,2,3,4,5"

You can have a pair of extension methods to make this task easier:

public static string ToDelimitedString<T>(this IEnumerable<T> lst, string separator = ", ")
{
    return lst.ToDelimitedString(p => p, separator);
}

public static string ToDelimitedString<S, T>(this IEnumerable<S> lst, Func<S, T> selector, 
                                             string separator = ", ")
{
    return string.Join(separator, lst.Select(selector));
}

So now just:

new int[] { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 }.ToDelimitedString();
