Conversion from List to array T[]

Question

Is there a short way of converting a strongly typed List to an Array of the same type, e.g.: List to MyClass[]

Answer 1

You can simply use ToArray() extension method

Example:

Person p1 = new Person() { Name = "Person 1", Age = 27 };
Person p2 = new Person() { Name = "Person 2", Age = 31 };

List<Person> people = new List<Person> { p1, p2 };

var array = people.ToArray();

According to Docs

The elements are copied using Array.Copy(), which is an O(n) operation, where n is Count.
