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

If you're interested in a condition (i.e. ordering by date created)

foreach(var rssItem in rss.Channel.Items.OrderByDescending(x=>x.CreateDate).Take(6)) 
{
//do something
}

Perhaps if you want to get those created by a certain user, with that same sort

foreach(var rssItem in rss.Channel.Items
                          .Where(x=>x.UserID == 1)
                          .OrderByDescending(x=>x.CreateDate)
                          .Take(6)) 
{
//do something
}
