Convert List(of object) to List(of string)
Solution 1:
Not possible without iterating to build a new list. You can wrap the list in a container that implements IList.
You can use LINQ to get a lazy evaluated version of IEnumerable<string> from an object list like this:
var stringList = myList.OfType<string>();
Solution 2:
This works for all types.
List<object> objects = new List<object>();
List<string> strings = objects.Select(s => (string)s).ToList();
