    Generate list from ienumberable

    Using Umbraco And Getting Started
    Umbraco 7

    I feel like I'm missing something super simple but is there a way to generate a csv from an Ienmerable without doing a foreach loop? I need to store the values of the names of nodes within the ienumberable into one var somehow.

    So I have this which queries a MNTP

    var industries = item.GetPropertyValue<IEnumerable<IPublishedContent>>("industries");

    And the output I want is "industrynode1, industrynode2, etc"

    Thanks! Amir

    Hi Amir,

    Not tested, but maybe something like this.

    var industries = item.GetPropertyValue<IEnumerable<IPublishedContent>>("industries");
if (industries != null && industries.Any()){
    var commaList = string.Join(",", industries.Select(x => x.Name));
}

    I feel like that's close but its throwing this: CS1977: Cannot use a lambda expression as an argument to a dynamically dispatched operation without first casting it to a delegate or expression tree type.

    Possibly this?

    var industries = item.GetPropertyValue<IEnumerable<IPublishedContent>>("industries");
if (industries != null && industries.Any()){
    var commaList = string.Join(",", ((IEnumerable<IPublishedContent>)industries).Select(x => x.Name));
}

    That worked with the omission of Any(). Thank you both for your help. I'm going to try to format this for another use as a html class list like .industries-aerospace .industries-automotive but i think I can do that with some replace() statements.
