I would just use:


C#
string.Join(",", cities.Select(c=>c.Name))

Since Version 4 of the Framework there is an overloaded versions of string.Join for IEnumerable too. It uses a StringBuilder internally and doesn't insert a seperator after the last element as well.


I could't find the Join method you mentioned in your last example with the search of my Reflector. Must be an extension to IList of string?! Where is it defined?
