Store String Array In appSettings?

Question

I\'d like to store a one dimensional string array as an entry in my appSettings. I can\'t simply separate elements with , or | because

Answer 1

For integers I found the following way quicker.

First of all create a appSettings key with integer values separated by commas in your app.config.

Then split and convert the values into int array by using LINQ

int[] myIntArray =  ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["myIntArray"].Split(',').Select(n => Convert.ToInt32(n)).ToArray();
