While working on a site recently I had to output the name property from a list of objects that had been selected by the user.
I wrote a handy little method that let me pass in the objects and a Func to select the property to be used in the list.
private string ToCommaSeperatedString<T>(IEnumerable<T> items, Func<T, string> property)
{
if (items != null && items.Count() > 0)
{
List<string> values = new List<string>();
foreach (T item in items)
{
values.Add(property.Invoke(item));
}
if (values.Count > 0)
{
return String.Join(", ", values);
}
}
return String.Empty;
}
Embedding code is still something of a work in progress. Just noticed it had deleted part of the method declaration.
