Converting KeysCollection to string[]

[Candan Akyol]

Hi all,

Is there a good method to convert the object of type
NameObjectCollectionBase.KeysCollection to an array of string without
enumerating? Or, let define the problem in a different way. I have an
instance of KeysCollection class, and I want to join the elements of this
collection into a single string, seperated by commas. Any ideas? Thanks in
advance.

Oops.. Got it.. BaseGetAllKeys() method does it.. Sorry :)

Candan,

You are going to have to do this manually. And easy way to do this
would be:

// The StringBuilder that will be used to create the list.
StringBuilder pobjBuilder = new StringBuilder();

// Cycle through the objects. Assume pobjCollection is the KeysCollection.
foreach (string pstrString in pobjCollection)
{
// Append the string.
pobjBuilder.Append(pstrString);

// Append a comma.
pobjBuilder.Append(',');
}

// If there is anything in the string, then that means one item
// was placed in the string, along with a comma. Take off the last comma
// if this is the case.
if (pobjBuilder.Length > 0)
// Trim off the last comma.
pobjBuilder.Remove(pobjBuilder.Length - 1, 1);

// Get the string.
string pstrString = pobjBuilder.ToString();

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the answer Nicholas, I was coding a class that inherited from
NameObjectCollectionBase, so I can reach the base.BaseGetAllKeys() method
and use String.Join(",", base.BaseGetAllKeys())
