Question

I have a list of enum values:

public static readonly List<NotifyBy> SupportedNotificationMethods = new List<NotifyBy> {
   NotifyBy.Email, NotifyBy.HandHold };

I would like to output it as a comma separated list. (EG: “Email, Handhold”)

What is the cleanest way of doing this?

Answer 1

Perhaps this:

var str = String.Join(", ", SupportedNotificationMethods.Select(s => s.ToString()));

You can read more about the String.Join method at MSDN. Older versions of String.Join don’t have an overload that takes an IEnumerable. In that case just call ToArray() after select.
