Convert datetime array to string - C#, Win 8

I'm trying to go something really simple here and apparently not possible. I have a datetime array

DateTime[] dtArray =  new DateTime[50];

This has few dates. I need to convert this datetime array to a string to be able to store in ApplicationDataContainer.

string test = dtArray.ToString();

This gives me text DateTime[].. Is there no direct way to convert the whole array to string or do I have to use for loop and convert each in to string and concatenate it?

You need to use String.Join and Select 

string format = "yyyy-MM-dd";
string test = string.Join(",",dtArray.Select(x=>x.ToString(format)));

above you can use custom format

Or shorter (without format)

string test = string.Join(",",dtArray);
