Concatenate Items of a List<String>

Here’s a simple way to concatenate items of a List<string>

C#

static void Main(string[] args)
{
    List<string> strList = new List<string>()
    {
        "Jake", "Brian", "Raj", "Finnie", "Carol"
    };

    string str = string.Join(";", strList.ToArray());

    Console.WriteLine(str);
    Console.ReadLine();
}

VB.NET

Sub Main(ByVal args() As String)
    Dim strList As New List(Of String)() _
              From {"Jake", "Brian", "Raj", "Finnie", "Carol"}

    Dim str As String = string.Join(";", strList.ToArray())

    Console.WriteLine(str)
    Console.ReadLine()
End Sub
