How to get IEnumerable<T> from List<T>?

Question

I have a List and I need an IEnumerable, however List.GetEnumerator() returns List.Enumerator ...

Is there a simple way of getting (casting to?) an IEnumerator? (currently I have solved this with a loop, however I feel casting the enumerator would be a far better solution)...

Answer 1

A List<T> is already an IEnumerable<T>.

Answer 2

I think you will find that a generic List implements IEnumerable, so you don't need to do anything.

What situation are you trying to use this in?

Answer 3

List<T> implements IEnumerable<T>, so you don't need to cast it:

public IEnumerable<T> GetIEnumerable()
{
    List<T> yourListOfT = GetList();
    return yourListOfT;
}
