Join string properties of list of objects

I've got list of Contact objects that among others, has a mailaddress string property. I would like to create a ";" delimited string from all these addresses. Is it possible to do this with a built-in function like the Join(delimiter,array) or the Join (of ...), without iterating trough the list manually?

Sorta.

Dim str = string.Join(";"c, YourList.Select(function(c) c.mailaddress))

You don't have to use a foreach loop, but the list does have to be iterated. LINQ can do that for you.

Short answer, NO.

You will have to iterate through all the Contacts, adding the mailaddress properties to a New List(Of String).

To get your delimited string, YourList.ToArray().Join(",")

Hope that helps.
