Create delimited list from a list of object's property

I have a list of objects, one of the properties on the object is a string.

Is there a way to use Join and Linq create a delimited list of the string property in one line of code? If not, what is the least amount of code to accomplish this?

EXAMPLE:

public class MyObject
{
   public int MyInt { get; set; }
   public string MyString  { get; set; }
}

I want to create a string using Join that contains a delimited list of all the MyString values in MyObject.

Something like this -

List<MyObject> myObjectList = GetMyObjectList(); //Contains a list of MyObject 

//I want to do something like this
string MyListOfMyStrings = String.Join(",", myObjectList.ForEach(x => x.Mystring));

MyListOfMyStrings will be set to a delimited list of the values of MyString for all of the objects inside myObjectList

You want to replace where you are using ForEach with a linq statement like below:

string MyListOfMyStrings = String.Join(",", (from myObject in myObjectList select myObject.MyString).ToArray());

See the MSDN guide for linq
