What I am trying to do is convert a string to a List of strings using linq. I try the following line of code:
value = "one,two,three,four";
List<string> arr = value.Split(',').Select(s => s.ToList());
But I am getting the error:
Error 1 Cannot implicitly convert type 'System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable>' to 'System.Collections.Generic.List'. An explicit conversion exists (are you missing a cast?)
If anyone could provide some help that would be awesome.
Hello you can try with
value.Split(',').ToList();
You've got the ToList on each individual array element - i.e. on each string. That call itself is valid because string implements IEnumerable<char>, but it means you're creating an IEnumerable<List<char>> which isn't what you want.
I don't think you need the Select at all - just use:
List<string> arr = value.Split(',').ToList();
One of the list constructors takes an enumerable:
var arr = new List<string>(value.Split(','));
Not sure why people insist on linq extensions for everything...
value = "one,two,three,four";
List<string> arr = value.Split(',').Select(s => s).ToList();
or simpler:
List<string> arr = value.Split(',').ToList();
Even though you don't need select, but still if you want to use it then it should be:
List<string> arr = value.Split(',').Select(s => s).ToList();
Or you can simply do :
List<string> arr = value.Split(',').ToList();
You shouldn't need the Select:
value = "one,two,three,four";
List<string> arr = value.Split(',').ToList();
string value = "one,two,three,four";
List<string> arr = value.Split(',').ToList();
You don't need to use LINQ here, instead you can simply do this:
string value = "one,two,three,four";
List<string> arr = value.Split(',').ToList();
