How to implement MyMethod() with Format("blah {0}", someValue) signature like string.format

Question

String.Format and StringBuilder (via the AppendFormat method) allow callers to pump values into a string they have prepared, e.g:

string temp = string.Format("Item {0} of {1}, Record Id: {2} started...",
  itemCounter.ToString(),
  totalItemsToProcess.ToString(),
  myRecord.RecordId);
MyMethod(temp);

But rather than build a string and pass that into "MyMethod()" I'd rather have an overload that people called like this:

MyMethod("Item {0} of {1}, Record Id: {2} started...",
  itemCounter.ToString(),
  totalItemsToProcess.ToString(),
  myRecord.RecordId);

How would you implement that? Is there something I can leverage or do I have to write a bunch of custom code?

Answer 1

It's pretty trivial, but there are less trivial uses of params:

static string MyMethod( string format, params object[] paramList )
{
    return string.Format(format, paramList);
}

Answer 2

How about params? http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/w5zay9db.aspx
