All, I want to create an object array foo[], where the constructor for Foo is

public Foo(string name, string discription){}

I have a database object which has a structure (not incuding stored procedures, functions or views for simplicity) like

public class Database 
{
    public string name { get; set; }
    public string filename { get; set; }
    public List<Table> tables { get; set; }

    public Database(string name, string filename)
    {
        this.name = name;
        this.filename = filename;
    }
}

protected internal class Table 
{
    public string name { get; set; }
    public List<Column> columns { get; set;}

    public Table(string name, List<Column> columns)
    {
        this.name = name;
        this.columns = columns;
    }
}

protected internal class Column
{
    public string name { get; set; }
    public string type { get; set; }

    public Column(string name, string type, int maxLength, 
                  bool isNullable)  
    {
        this.name = name;
        this.type = type;
    }
}

I would like to know the quickest way to add Column and Table information to the Foo[] object array?

Clearly I can do

List<Foo> fooList = new List<Foo>();
foreach (Table t in database.tables)
{
    fooList.Add(new Foo(t.Name, "Some Description"));
    foreach (Column c in t.columns)
        fooList.Add(new Foo(c.Name, "Some Description"));
}
Foo[] fooArr = fooList.ToArray<Foo>();

But is there a quicker way? Clearly LINQ is likely to be slower for a query that does a simalar operation, but I care allot about speed here so any advice would be appreciated. Perhaps the use of a HashSet would be the way to go as there will not be duplicate entries...

Thanks for your time.
