C# equivelant to Java Arrays.ToString(byte[])

Question

Is there an equivalent method in C# to the Java method Arrays.ToString(byte[])

Found here

Essentially I want to convert a byte array to a string of the format:

"[10, 23, 0, 15]"

The numbers reflecting the value of each byte in the byte array.

Answer 1

It's a one-liner. Try this:

static string Array2String<T>( IEnumerable<T> list )
{
  return "[" + string.Join(",",list) + "]";
}

You might need to tweak it a bit for different flavors of T to allow for proper quoting and/or stringification¹ etc., but that's the general principle.

¹ Not all types have a ToString() that comes back with anything terribly useful since object just hands back the type name.
