Hi,

What is the best way to copy char[] into a string?
I am trying to avoid using a loop.

Thank you,
Alan
 
char[] chars = new char[] {'1', '2', '3'.'4'}
string s = new String(chars);

If u ask me , i would rather use the following approach

char[] a={'a','b','c'};


StringBuilder s=new StringBuilder();

s=s.Append(a);



but , inlcude the System.Test Namespace

If you need a string based only on the chars you have, then use the string
constructor. If you need a string based on those chars but need to modify it
first, consider the StringBuilder.

Of course, if you can get away with not creating either then perf would
benefit. But we'd need to know more about your exact needs.

HTH,
Kent

Hi Alan,

Agree with Kent, since the .NET's string class is immutable. If you want to
construct a string from char array , and also need to modify it, you should
consider StringBuilder. Otherwise, use the string type and its constructor
is enough.
