How to get the top 30 items on a list

Question

How can I get the top 30 items in a list in C # and add it to a new list?

I have a list of about 1000 items and you want to create new lists of 30 items each, and then somehow bind the lists to a list

Answer 1

Use the LINQ Take() method:

 var top30list = source.Take(30).ToList(); 

Add using System.Linq to the top of the file to make it work.

Answer 2

everyone says linq, so I will show an example without linq:

 List<object> newList = new List<object>(); for(int i=0 ; i < 30 ; i++) newList.Add(oldList[i]); 

Answer 3

 newList.AddRange(list.Take(30)); 

Answer 4

Use Take (30)

 public List<string> ReturnList(List<string> mylist,int page) { return mylist.Skip(30 * (page - 1)).Take(30) } 

Answer 5

use orderby with the column name after that, using .Take(30) , select 30 items from the list.
