How do I create a string from one row of a two dimensional rectangular character array?
A jagged array is almost always the best solution for a variety of reasons, and this is one good example. There is so much more flexibility available with an array of arrays than with a multi-dimensional array. In this case, once you have the values in an array of chars, then a constructor on the string class can be used to create a string from it. Also, the jagged array would be composed of “vectors” (i.e., a single-dimensional arrays with a zero-lower-bound index), which are much more preferment in .Net because they are given special treatment by the CLR. So without knowing what the rest of your program is doing, that would be my recommendation. If you do attempt to construct a string manually by looping through the array indexes, instead of using a jagged array, then I recommend using the StringBuilder class to do it.
