Using linq what is the easiest way to conv list<long> to list<int>?

Question

Using link what is the easiest way to convert a list of longs to a list of ints?

I need it to be a list, if it cant be possibly i would like to see a solution with a int array or some kind f int container.

Answer 1

You need to be aware of the possibility of data loss since some of the longs may have a value outside the range supported by an int.

        List<long> a = new List<long>();
        List<int> b = a.Cast<int>().ToList();

Answer 2

longList.Select( i => (int)i);

Nice and easy.

Answer 3

var myIntList = myLongList.Select(x => (int)x).ToList();

Doesn't handle long values larger than int can hold correctly, although there's not really any way around that.

Answer 4

You dont need LINQ. Simply do:

List<int> intlist = longlist.ConvertAll(x => (int)x);

If you really do want LINQ:

var intlist = longlist.Select(x => (int) x).ToList();
