How to skip(m).take(n) from a List<T> ?

Question

Given:

List<int> list = new List<int> { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 };

How do I implement the following code?

var list2 = list.skip(2).take(5);

Answer 1

Your sample code will work as long as you include System.Linq in your using statements (and fix your method names .Skip(2) and .Take(5)).

The reason your code did not work out of the box is that .Skip and .Take are extension methods (as opposed to methods defined in the List class) found in the 'System.Linq' namespace.

Answer 2

Have a look at the samples in the following link and its more easy to go with
