C# / .NET - copy List<> to another list
0 points
In this article, we would like to show you how to copy List to another List in C#.
Quick solution:
xxxxxxxxxx1
List<int> myList = new List<int> { 1, 2, 3 };2
3
List<int> copy = new List<int>(myList);or:
xxxxxxxxxx1
List<int> myList = new List<int> { 1, 2, 3 };2
3
List<int> copy = myList.ToList();or:
xxxxxxxxxx1
List<int> myList = new List<int> { 1, 2, 3 };2
3
List<int> copy = myList.GetRange(0, myList.Count);
In this example, we create copy of myList using List Constructor.
xxxxxxxxxx1
using System;2
using System.Collections.Generic;3
4
public class Program5
{6
public static void Main()7
{8
List<int> myList = new List<int> { 1, 2, 3 };9
10
List<int> copy = new List<int>(myList);11
12
foreach (int item in copy)13
Console.WriteLine(item);14
}15
}Output:
xxxxxxxxxx1

3In this example, we use ToList() method from System.Linq to create a copy of myList.
xxxxxxxxxx1
using System;2
using System.Linq;3
using System.Collections.Generic;4
5
public class Program6
{7
public static void Main()8
{9
List<int> myList = new List<int> { 1, 2, 3 };10
11
List<int> copy = myList.ToList();12
13
foreach (int item in copy)14
Console.WriteLine(item);15
}16
}Output:
xxxxxxxxxx1

3In this example, we use getRange() to copy elements from myList into a new List.
xxxxxxxxxx1
using System;2
using System.Collections.Generic;3
4
public class Program5
{6
public static void Main()7
{8
List<int> myList = new List<int> { 1, 2, 3 };9
10
List<int> copy = myList.GetRange(0, myList.Count);11
12
foreach (int item in copy)13
Console.WriteLine(item);14
}15
}Output:
xxxxxxxxxx1

3Note:
All of the presented solutions present how to create a shallow copy of the List.
