What's the Best Way to Add One Item to an IEnumerable?

Question

Here\'s how I would add one item to an IEnumerable object:

//Some IEnumerable object
IEnumerable arr = new string[] { \"ABC\", \"DEF\"         


        

Answer 1

Nope, that's about as concise as you'll get using built-in language/framework features.

You could always create an extension method if you prefer:

arr = arr.Append("JKL");
// or
arr = arr.Append("123", "456");
// or
arr = arr.Append("MNO", "PQR", "STU", "VWY", "etc", "...");

// ...

public static class EnumerableExtensions
{
    public static IEnumerable Append(
        this IEnumerable source, params T[] tail)
    {
        return source.Concat(tail);
    }
}
