Syntax and Examples of some join Overloads

Join(Char, Object[])

Concatenates the string representations of an array of objects, using the specified separator between each member.

public static string Join(char separator, params object[] values);

The character to use as a separator. Separator is included in the returned string only if value has more than one element.

Values Object[]

An array of objects whose string representations will be concatenated.

Returns String

A string that consists of the elements of values delimited by the separator character. Or Empty if values has zero elements or all the elements of values are null.

Exceptions ArgumentNullException

value is null.

OutOfMemoryException

The length of the resulting string overflows the maximum allowed length (MaxValue).

 

Join(Char, String[])

Concatenates an array of strings, using the specified separator between each member.

public static string Join(char separator, params string[] value);

 Parameters

Separator Char

The character to use as a separator. Separator is included in the returned string only if value has more than one element.

 Value String[]

An array of strings to concatenate.

 

Returns String

A string that consists of the elements of value delimited by the separator character. Empty if value has zero elements or all the elements of value are null.

String Join Method Example


The below code snippet is an example of using the Join() method to append or concatenate all string array elements using specified separator in C#.

 

 static void Main(string[] args)

        {

            string[] sArr = { "Welcome", "to", "CSharp Naija" };

            Console.WriteLine($"Join with Hypen: {string.Join("-", sArr)}");

            string[] sArr1 = { "Musa", "Sule", "Gadabs" };

            Console.WriteLine($"Join with Comma: {string.Join(", ", sArr1)}");

            Console.WriteLine("\nPress Enter Key to Exit..");

            Console.ReadLine();

        }

 

Below is the output screen of the above code

Models in ASP.NET MVC

Models in ASP.NET MVC Explained A model is a class that contains the business logic of your application. It also used for accessing data from the database. The model class does not handle directly input from the browser. In MVC, it is the Controller that handle input from the browser directly and process the request by receiving data from the model and pass it back to view as response. It does not contain any HTML code either. It is a best practice but not mandatory for developers to not have any communications with the view directly, models should only contain a POCO ( Plain Old CLR Objects ) classes. All processing logic and communication with the view should be handled by another layer called Viewmodels. Models are also refers as objects that are used to implement conceptual logic for the application. A controller interacts with the model, access the data, perform the logic and pass that data to the view. Note that it is not mandatory, but it is a good programming...

Classes in C# Explained

C# Class Explained A class is nothing but an encapsulation of properties and methods that are used to represent a real-time entity, as explained by Guru99 . For instance, if you want to work with Guest’s data as in our previous DataDriven Web application . The properties of the Guest would be the Id, GuestName, Address, Phone number etc of the Guest. The methods would include the entry and modification of Guest data. All of these operations can be represented as a class in C# as shown below. using System; namespace CsharpnaijaClassTutorial {     public class Guest     {         public int Id { get ; set ; }         public string GuestName { get ; set ; }         public string Address { get ; set ; }         public string WhomToSee { get ; set ; }     ...
