LINQ ToArray Query Operator

The following code example demonstrates how to use ToArray<TSource> to force immediate query evaluation and return an array of results.

class Package
             {
                 public string Company { get; set; }
                 public double Weight { get; set; }
             }

             public static void ToArrayEx1()
            {
               List<Package> packages =
                     new List<Package>
                        { new Package { Company = "Coho Vineyard", Weight = 25.2 },
                            new Package { Company = "Lucerne Publishing", Weight = 18.7 },
                            new Package { Company = "Wingtip Toys", Weight = 6.0 },
                            new Package { Company = "Adventure Works", Weight = 33.8 } };

                 string[] companies = packages.Select(pkg => pkg.Company).ToArray();

                 foreach (string company in companies)
                {
                   Console.WriteLine(company);
                }
            }

            /*
             This code produces the following output:

             Coho Vineyard
             Lucerne Publishing
             Wingtip Toys
             Adventure Works
