Hi everyone.

The question is above.
I have a char array(let's say with length of 1000).
I want to assign it to a string(not a string array).

How can I achieve it?

My best regards...

Hi,

You can simply pass it into the string constructor

C#

char[] arr = new char[] {'a','b','c'};
string s = new string(arr);

Though it's not exactly an assignment, which would be impossible because of type safety.

Cheers, Boris

You can use this constructor[^] of the String Class[^].

C#

string s = new string(myCharArray);
