How to get the first element of IEnumerable

Question

Is there a better way getting the first element of IEnumerable type of this:

foreach (Image image in imgList)
{
     picture.Width = (short)image.Columns;
     picture.Height = (short)image.Rows;
     break;
}

This is the exact declaration of the type:

public class ImageList : IEnumerable, IDisposable

Answer 1

var firstImage = imgList.Cast<Image>().First();

Answer 2

If you can't use LINQ you could also get the enumerator directly by imgList.GetEnumerator() And then do a .MoveNext() to move to the first element. .Current will then give you the first element.
