Best practice to avoid InvalidOperationException: Collection was modified?

Question

Very often I need something like that:

 foreach (Line line in lines)
 {
    if (line.FullfilsCertainConditions())
    {
       lines.Remove(line)
    }
 }
         


        

Answer 1

This is baked directly into List:

lines.RemoveAll(line => line.FullfilsCertainConditions());

or in C# 2.0:

lines.RemoveAll(delegate(Line line) {
    return line.FullfilsCertainConditions();
});

In the non-List case (your edit to the question), you could wrap this something like below (untested):

static class CollectionUtils
{
    public static void RemoveAll(IList list, Predicate predicate)
    {
        int count = list.Count;
        while (count-- > 0)
        {
            if (predicate(list[count])) list.RemoveAt(count);
        }
    }
    public static void RemoveAll(IList list, Predicate
