get fixed number of items from array list c#

Question

I would like to create a list variable of items from another list. So lets say I have a list of 100 items I would like to pull items 25 - 35 and put them inside of another list. is there a way of doing this without calling a big for statement and pulling out the element one by one and putting that into a list.

Answer 1

you can use .Skip and .Take from System.Linq ....

Like this:

var result = myList.Skip(24).Take(10);

and if you need use ToList on the result to get another list

Answer 2

For a List<T>, you can use the GetRange Method.

Creates a shallow copy of a range of elements in the source List(Of T).

Do note that the second argument represents the count of elements in the range, not the end-index of the range.

Since you mention ArrayList, I should point out that while it too has a GetRange, method, the type is considered essentially legacy since .NET 2.0.

Answer 3

Use both Take and Skip

var newList = oldList.Skip(25).Take(10);
