How can I initialize a new string array from the values contained in a char array?

Question

I would like to initialize a new string array from the values contained in a char array.
Is this possible without using a list?

This is what I have so far:

char[] arrChars = {'a', 'b', 'c'};
string[] arrStrings = new string[](arrChars);

Answer 1

string[] arrStrings = Array.ConvertAll(arrChars, c => c.ToString());

Answer 2

Why not use a for loop for your initialization? Or, if that's too many LOC, you could just use Linq:

string[] arrStrings = arrChars.Select(c => c.ToString()).ToArray();
