LINQ ToArray() Method

ToArray() operator in LINQ is used to convert the input elements in the collection to an Array.

Syntax of LINQ ToArray() operator

The syntax of using the LINQ ToArray() operator to convert the collection to an array.

C# Code

In the above syntax, we are converting the collection of "countries" to an Array.

Example of LINQ ToArray() operator in method syntax

In this example, we are using LINQ ToArray() operator in method syntax to convert the input collection items to new array.

using System;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

namespace ConsoleApp1
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
//Create array countries of string type containing the data.
            string[] countries = { "Uk", "Us", "Russia", "India", "Argentina", "Australia", "China" };
//countries.ToArray() is used to convert the collection of data into the form of array
            string[] countryarray = countries.ToArray();
//foreach loop is used to print the name of the countries
            foreach (string s in countryarray)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(s);
            }
                Console.ReadLine();
        }
    }
}

In the above example, we have a List of type string "countries." By using the ToArray() method, we converted the list of "countries" List to an Array. To access these elements, we have iterated the array in a foreach loop and displayed it on the screen.

LINQ ToArray() operator in Query Syntax

The example of using LINQ ToArray() operator in Query Syntax is:

using System;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

namespace ConsoleApp1
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            string[] countries = { "India", "China", "US", "Russia", "Argentina", "Australia", "UK" };
//query syntax is used to convert the collection of data into the form of array
            string[] countrArray = (from x in countries select x).ToArray();
            foreach (string s in countrArray)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(s);
            }
                Console.ReadLine();
        }
    }
}
