Cast List<int> to List<string> in .NET 2.0

.NET 2.0 has the ConvertAll method where you can pass in a converter function:

List<int>    l1 = new List<int>(new int[] { 1, 2, 3 } );
List<string> l2 = l1.ConvertAll<string>(delegate(int i) { return i.ToString(); });

Updated for 2010

List<int> l1 = new List<int>(new int[] { 1,2,3 } );
List<string> l2 = l1.ConvertAll<string>(x => x.ToString());

Is C# 2.0 able to do List<T>.Convert? If so, I think your best guess would be to use that with a delegate:

List<int> list = new List<int>();
list.Add(1);
list.Add(2);
list.Add(3);
list.Convert(delegate (int i) { return i.ToString(); });

Something along those lines.

Upvote Glenn's answer, which is probably the correct code ;-)
