How do I clone a generic list in C#?

Question

I have a generic list of objects in C#, and wish to clone the list. The items within the list are cloneable, but there doesn\'t seem to be an option to do list.Clone()

Answer 1

For a shallow copy, you can instead use the GetRange method of the generic List class.

List oldList = new List( );
// Populate oldList...

List newList = oldList.GetRange(0, oldList.Count);
