Question

I’m using Interop to work with Excel in C#. I need two cells. This is how I get them:

cells = (Excel.Range)sheet.get_Range("V" + i, "W" + i);
System.Array values = (System.Array)cells.Cells.Value;

This returns the values I want, as tested with a foreach loop. But how do I get the elements into string variables? I tried this:

var stringValues = values.Cast<string>();

but I can’t access it in any way without raising an error.

Answer 1

A simple ConvertAll should suffice:

var stringValues = Array.ConvertAll(values, item => (string)item);
