Fastest way to convert a list of strings into a single concatenated string?

Question

I have some LINQ code that generates a list of strings, like this:

var data = from a in someOtherList
           orderby a
           select FunctionThatReturnsS         


        

Answer 1

Use "Aggregate" like this:

    List strings = new List() {"bob", "steve", "jane"};
    string result = strings.Aggregate((working, next) => working + next);
    Console.WriteLine(result);

Note: Aggregate is in the System.Linq namespace as an extension method.
