Question

I have a method that accepts a variable number of string parameters. The problem is that the parameters originate as a variety of different types. This means that i am required to explicitly convert all types to strings (with Convert) as i pass them to the method. Is it possible for the method to do this implicitly, automatically converting parameters, regardless of type, into strings?

Answer 1

public string MyFunction(params object[] someobjects)
{
     var asstrings = someobjects.Select(o => (o??"").ToString());
     // for example
     return string.Join(", ", asstrings.ToArray());
}

For .NET 4.0 you can drop the .ToArray() call as well
