Question by Flamacore · Jan 19, 2016 at 12:05 PM · array list linq

Some LINQ functions won't work. And no; not iOS

Hi there everyone. Going insane on this :) No clear information could i find on this so needed to ask.

Am i missing a veeeery basic info on this or is something wrong: (UnityScript)

 import System.Generic.Collections;
 import System.Linq;
 
 DataFromDB = *SOME IRRELEVANT DATA COMES FROM DATABASE*
 var dbARRAY = DataFromDB.Spit(","[0]);
 dbARRAY.ToList();

This throws a missing method exception;

 MissingMethodException: System.String[].ToList

 UnityScript.Lang.UnityRuntimeServices.Invoke (System.Object target, System.String name, System.Object[] args, System.Type scriptBaseType)
 IntroCam+$Start$134+$.MoveNext () (at Assets/CamScripts/IntroCam.js:91)

i also tried using; import Linq; or import System.Xml.Linq; but to no avail... Is there something wrong or it does simply not work? has no way to work?

According to this, should work but still not sure; http://web.archive.org/web/20130127214205/http://docs.unity3d.com/Documentation/ScriptReference/MonoCompatibility.html

EDIT: .Distinct(); for generic lists also don't work :)
