LINQ ToList() Method

In LINQ, the ToList operator takes the element from the given source, and it returns a new List. So, in this case, input would be converted to type List.

Syntax of LINQ ToList() operator

The syntax of using the LINQ ToList() to convert the input collection to list.

C# Code

In the above syntax, we are converting “countries” collection to list using the LINQ ToList() operator.

Example of ToList() operator in method syntax

The example of using the LINQ ToList() to convert the input collection to List in method syntax.

C# Code

  using System;  using System.Collections;  using System.Collections.Generic;  using System.Linq;  using System.Text;  using System.Threading.Tasks;    namespace ConsoleApp1  {      class Program      {          static void Main(string[] args)          {  //create array countries of type string containing the collection of data              string[] countries = { “US”, “UK”, “India”, “Russia”, “China”, “Australia”, “Argentina” };  //countries.ToList() convert the collection of data into the list.              List result = countries.ToList();      //foreach loop is used to print the information of the student              foreach (string s in result)              {                  Console.WriteLine(s);              }                  Console.ReadLine();          }      }  }  

OUTPUT:

In the above example, we are converting countries collection to List by using the LINQ ToList() method.
