Question

I need to create an array of strings, easy enough… the only problem is that the strings are integers from 1-1000 and I really dont want to type each of them.

Can you create a loop that could create this?

right now it looks like this

        private readonly string[] _myArray = { "1", "2", "3", "4", "5" };

and its called by

        for (var i = 0; i < _myArray.Length; i++)
        {
            arFoo[i].SetBar(_myArray[i]);
        }

any suggestions on how to add the other 995 without manually typing them?

This is simple and clean:

readonly string[] _myArray 
    = Enumerable.Range(1, 1000)
        .Select(i => i.ToString())
        .ToArray();
