Method

Description

Join(Char, Object[])

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

Join(Char, String[])

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

Join(String, IEnumerable<String>)

Concatenates the members of a constructed IEnumerable<T> collection of type String, using the specified separator between each member.

Join(String, Object[])

Concatenates the elements of an object array, using the specified separator between each element.

Join(String, String[])

Concatenates all the elements of a string array, using the specified separator between each element.

Join(Char, String[], Int32, Int32)

Concatenates an array of strings, using the specified separator between each member, starting with the element in value located at the startIndex position, and concatenating up to count elements.

Join(String, String[], Int32, Int32)

Concatenates the specified elements of a string array, using the specified separator between each element.

Join<T>(Char, IEnumerable<T>)

Concatenates the members of a collection, using the specified separator between each member.

Join<T>(String, IEnumerable<T>)

Concatenates the members of a collection, using the specified separator between each member.

 

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);

 

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.

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.

Exceptions ArgumentNullException

value is null.

 

OutOfMemoryException

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

 

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

Join String

Analyzed by technostacks Not very long ago, just a few people were considered to be computer programmers, and the general public viewed them with awe. In this digital age that we are now living in, however, a large number of IT jobs need a solid grasp of one or more programming languages. Whether one wants to develop a mobile app or get a certification for having programming knowledge, or even to learn new skills, one needs to opt for the right programming language. Below mentioned eight most popular programming languages which are in demand for software development and web applications. This is the most used programming languages in 2019 and will be in 2020. For each, there is little information about the language, benefits and its complexity, as well as about its usage. One must...

HashTable in C# with Example

  HashTable in C# with Example Hashtable  is used to store a collection of key/value pairs of different  data types  and are organized based on the hash code of the key.   Generally, the hashtable object will contain buckets to store elements of the collection. The bucket here, is a virtual subgroup of elements within the hashtable and each bucket is associated with a hash code, which is generated based on the key of an element.   In C#, hashtable is same as a  dictionary  object but the only difference is that the  dictionary  object is used to store a key-value pair of same  data type  elements.   When compared with  dictionary  object, the hashtable will provide a lower performance because the hashtable elements are of object type so the boxing and unboxing process will occur when we are storing or retrieving values from the hashtable.   C# HashTable Declaration Hashtable is a non-generic type...
