Select a section out of the middle of a list in C#

Question

I have a list in C#. Given two number - the starting position and the number of records - how can I select from the middle of a list? What kind of collection should I use?

E.g. Starting position = 10. Number of records = 20. Total number of records in list = 50. I want to get back the objects in elements 10 to 29.

Answer 1

Assuming you're using .NET 3.5:

using System.Linq;

list.Skip(10).Take(20)

Answer 2

Something like list1.Skip(10).Take(20) should work for you

Answer 3

use the LINQ extension methods skip() and take()

var myList = getList();
var middle = myList.Skip(10).Take(20);
