Help

Hello ,

I actually wanted to know how I could convert List to String .
I have my result in a List from Collections and now i want it as a array of string.
How could I possibly do that?

Thank You,
Anusha

Hi @Anusha_Makam,

Using assign activity and the Linq query “yourList.ConvertAll(function(x) x.ToString).ToArray()”

Try this.

If its list<of string> you can directly convert into array using list.ToArray()

the issue is that i cant manage to get this working for either list nor array
“yourList.ConvertAll(function(x) x.ToString).ToArray()”

Hello @Ilona_Shishov

Can you tell me what error are you getting while using this code ?

Try this code List_of_object.Select(Function(r) cstr(r) ).toarray

OR

List_of_object.Select(Function(r) Convert.ToString(r) ).toarray
