String.Concat<'T> Method (IEnumerable<'T>)
Concatenates the members of an IEnumerable<'T> implementation.
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
[<ComVisibleAttribute(false)>] static member Concat<'T> : values:IEnumerable<'T> -> string
Parameters
- values
-
Type:
System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<'T>
A collection object that implements the IEnumerable<'T> interface.

| ArgumentNullException | values is null. |
The method concatenates each object in values; it does not add any delimiters.
An Empty string is used in place of any null argument.
Concat<'T>(IEnumerable<'T>) is a convenience method that lets you concatenate each element in an IEnumerable<'T> collection without first converting the elements to strings. It is particularly useful with Language-Integrated Query (LINQ) query expressions, as the example illustrates. The string representation of each object in the IEnumerable<'T> collection is derived by calling that object's ToString method.
The following example defines a very simple Animal class that contains the name of an animal and the order to which it belongs. It then defines a List<'T> object to contain a number of Animal objects. The Enumerable.Where<'TSource> extension method is called to extract the Animal objects whose Order property equals "Rodent". The result is passed to the Concat<'T>(IEnumerable<'T>) method and displayed to the console.
