[RESOLVED] [2.0] String from List<byte>

[Andy_P]

I have a List of bytes that I want to convert to a string. Currently I am doing this:

// myList is a generic List<byte>

string myString = "";

foreach (byte byt in myList)
{
    myString += (char)byt;
}

ConsoleWriteLine(myString);

Is there a better alternative I can use that will convert all the bytes in one go without the foreach loop?

At the moment the list will hold a max. of around 25 bytes.

This is untested but I think it should work:

string myString = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetString(myList.ToArray());

I think it should work

Spot on.

Thanks.
