Yes, it is.

You can find out a lot more about it in chapter 6 of my book, C# in Depth. Fortunately chapter 6 is available for free from Manning's web site.

I also have two other articles on the book's web site.

Feedback welcome.

If the dow was moving that fast, I could afford his book =)

Seems to me that the Dow is moving plenty fast. Unfortunately it's been mostly moving fast down lately.

To add to the link-fest, Raymond Chen did a nice little series on C# iterators a few months ago:
