i can't understand why you want to convert List to string? what you want to return ? out of this list what should be converted as a string ?

A JSON string? A joined string? How do you want to encode the list into the string?

How about this:
http://www.dotnetperls.com/convert-list-string[^]

Code:

C#

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;

class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
    List<string> dogs = new List<string>(); // Create new list of strings
    dogs.Add("Aigi"); // Add string 1
    dogs.Add("Spitz"); // 2
    dogs.Add("Mastiff"); // 3
    dogs.Add("Finnish Spitz"); // 4
    dogs.Add("Briard"); // 5

    string dogCsv = string.Join(",", dogs.ToArray());
    Console.WriteLine(dogCsv);
    }
}

XML

List<string> names = new List<string>() { "John", "Anna", "Monica" };
var result = String.Join(", ", names.ToArray());

or

C#

var names = new List<string>() { "John", "Anna", "Monica" };
var joinedNames = names.Aggregate((a, b) => a + ", " + b);
