Split List into Sublists with LINQ

Question

Is there any way I can separate a List into several separate lists of SomeObject, using the item index as the delimiter of each s

Answer 1

So performatic as the Sam Saffron's approach.

public static IEnumerable> Batch(this IEnumerable source, int size)
{
    if (source == null) throw new ArgumentNullException(nameof(source));
    if (size <= 0) throw new ArgumentOutOfRangeException(nameof(size), "Size must be greater than zero.");

    return BatchImpl(source, size).TakeWhile(x => x.Any());
}

static IEnumerable> BatchImpl(this IEnumerable source, int size)
{
    var values = new List();
    var group = 1;
    var disposed = false;
    var e = source.GetEnumerator();

    try
    {
        while (!disposed)
        {
            yield return GetBatch(e, values, group, size, () => { e.Dispose(); disposed = true; });
            group++;
        }
    }
    finally
    {
        if (!disposed)
            e.Dispose();
    }
}

static IEnumerable GetBatch(IEnumerator e, List values, int group, int size, Action dispose)
{
    var min = (group - 1) * size + 1;
    var max = group * size;
    var hasValue = false;

    while (values.Count < min && e.MoveNext())
    {
        values.Add(e.Current);
    }

    for (var i = min; i <= max; i++)
    {
        if (i <= values.Count)
        {
            hasValue = true;
        }
        else if (hasValue = e.MoveNext())
        {
            values.Add(e.Current);
        }
        else
        {
            dispose();
        }

        if (hasValue)
            yield return values[i - 1];
        else
            yield break;
    }
}

}
