Convert Char[] to String and Vice Versa

Today I was asked a question on the forums to convert a char array to string and vice versa. Here’s the code to do so:

static void Main(string[] args){      char[] cArr = { 'a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f'};    // Convert char[] to string    string str = new string(cArr);    Console.WriteLine("char[] to string: {0}", str);

    // Convert string to char[]    Console.WriteLine("string to char[]");    char[] newArr = str.ToCharArray();    for (int i = 0; i < newArr.Length; i++)        Console.WriteLine(newArr[i]);    Console.ReadLine();}

VB.NET

Sub Main(ByVal args() As String)    Dim cArr() As Char = { "a"c, "b"c, "c"c, "d"c, "e"c, "f"c}    ' Convert char[] to string    Dim str As New String(cArr)    Console.WriteLine("char[] to string: {0}", str)

    ' Convert string to char[]    Console.WriteLine("string to char[]")    Dim newArr() As Char = str.ToCharArray()    For i As Integer = 0 To newArr.Length - 1        Console.WriteLine(newArr(i))    Next i    Console.ReadLine()End Sub
