ok I give up, how do you do this in one line?
public object Convert(object[] values, Type targetType, object parameter, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture)
{
//List<string> fields = values.ToList<string>();
//List<string> fields = values as List<string>;
//List<string> fields = (List<string>)values;
List<string> fields = new List<string>();
foreach (object value in values)
{
fields.Add(value.ToString());
}
//process the fields here knowning they are strings
...
}
