Convert int array to string array

Posted on Saturday, September 10th, 2011 in Top Tips

Quick and useful way to convert an int array to a string.

int[] ints = new[] { 2, 5, 90, 49}
string[] strings = Ids.Select(m => m.ToString()).ToArray();

What is happening? We are moving through each item in the array and converting it into a string. They will all be in a string format and it is then assigned to the string array. The same is done below except it is from a string to an int array. This can be applied to most other array types.

String array to int array


string[] strings = new[] { "1", "2", "3" };
int[] ints = strings.Select(x => int.Parse(x)).ToArray();

There are plenty utilities on the find and replace making its so very useful for fast development. Read more
