Question

I have the next object/list “ListaDatos” and I like to get it as clear string (to visualize/send this via mail, etc)

public List<Datos> ListaDatos = new List<Datos>();

public class Datos
{
    public string Numero;
    public string Alias;
    public string URLConsumo;

    //-- Consumos ----------------------------- 
    public List<Consumo> Consumos = new List<Consumo>();
    public string ConsumoTotal;
}

public class Consumo 
{
    public string Tipo;
    public string Subtipo;
    public string Concepto;
    public string Cantidad;
    public string Importe;
    public string Total;
}

What is the easiest way to “render” this object into text to obtain a string variable with something like this:

DATOS
 Numero     : 10
 Alias      : "aaaaa"
 urlConsumo : "www.aaaaaaaaaaaaa"
 Consumos
  Tipo      : "abc"
  SubTtipo  : "aaa"
  ...
DATOS
 Numero     : 10
 Alias      : "aaaaa"
 urlConsumo : "www.aaaaaaaaaaaaa"
 Consumos
  Tipo      : "abc"
  SubTtipo  : "aaa"
  ...

Answer 1

Implement a ToString() method for the Consumo class and then implement a ToString() method for the Datos class using the ToString() method for the Consumo class.
