List of 3 string ToCsv() -> FromCsv() returns a list with a single element

1

List list = new List
{
“one”,
“two”,
“three”
};

string flatList = list.ToCsv();       //value of flatList = "one,two,three\r\n"

//trying to get back the original list:
var originalList = flatList.FromCsv<List>();

// originalList here is a List with a single value of “one,two,three\r\n”

I would have expected the original list of 3 string back… ?

Thanks for reporting, I reproduced the issue with unit tests and a fix in this PR.

This change is available from the latest v5.10.5 that’s now available on MyGet.

Awesome. Will you keep the trailing \r\n ?

That’s currently in the latest MyGet and converts between typed and CSV output correctly. Feel free to let us know your use case where this might be causing issues.
