How do I limit the number of elements iterated over in a foreach loop?

Question

I have the following code

foreach (var rssItem in rss.Channel.Items)
{
    // ...
}

But only want 6 items not all items, how can I do it in C#?

Answer 1

Not to be too obvious but...

int max = Math.Min(6, rss.Channel.Items.Count);
for (int i = 0; i < max; i++)
{
   var rssItem = rss.Channel.Items[i];
   //...
}

I know it's old school, and not filled with all sorts of Extension method goodness, but sometimes the old school still works... especially if you're still using .NET 2.0.
