How can I split an IEnumerable<String> into groups of IEnumerable<string>

I have a list that I would like to break into groups of 10.

If I have an object

List<Person> allPendingPersons  

that is of length m.

Is there an elegant way in LINQ to break up allPendingPersons into one or more List objects that all have a up to 10 Persons?

Answer 1

You can write your own extension method:

public static IEnumerable<IEnumerable<T>> Partition<T>(this IEnumerable<T> sequence, int size) {     List<T> partition = new List<T>(size);     foreach(var item in sequence) {         partition.Add(item);         if (partition.Count == size) {             yield return partition;             partition = new List<T>(size);         }     }     if (partition.Count > 0)         yield return partition; } 

I explored this in more depth in my blog.
