How do I truncate a list in C#?

Question

I know in python you can do something like myList[1:20] but is there anything similar in C#?

Answer 1

var itemsOneThroughTwenty = myList.Take(20); var itemsFiveThroughTwenty = myList.Skip(5).Take(15); 

Answer 2

You can use List<T>.GetRange():

var subList = myList.GetRange(0, 20); 

From MSDN:

Creates a shallow copy of a range of elements in the source List<T>.

public List<T> GetRange(int index, int count)
