Iterate through an IList

Question

How do I iterate through an IList collection and return only n number of records? I am trying to implement paging using an IList object.

Answer 1

(From o As Object In myList).Take(n)

Hanselman has a good Paginated List class in his ASP .NET MVC tutorial here. You should check it out.

Answer 2

Use the very useful PagedList:

Answer 3

foreach (int i in myList.Take(4))
{
            // do some stuff
}

It's worth noting that for pagination, you'll also want some sort of offset. To do so, you could do the following as well:

foreach (int i in myList.Skip(40).Take(20)) { }

In C#.
