Getting random numbers from a list of integers

Question

If I have a list of integers:

List<int> myValues = new List<int>(new int[] { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 } );

How would I get 3 random integers from that list?

Answer 1

Combining the other answer with this answer can lead you to the following:

var rand = new Random();
var numbers = Enumerable.Range(1, 6).OrderBy(i => rand.Next()).ToList();

In this case 1 is the starting value (inclusive) and 6 is the number of integers to generate.

Answer 2

or this:

myList.OrderBy(x => Guid.newGuid()).Take(3)
