What\'s the best way to create a list with an arbitrary number of instances of the same object? i.e is there a more compact or efficient way to do the following?

Answer 1

This wouldn't be hard to implement as an iterator:

IEnumerable CreateItems (int count) where T : new() {
    return CreateItems(count, () => new T());
}

IEnumerable CreateItems (int count, Func creator) {
    for (int i = 0; i < count; i++) {
        yield return creator();
    }
}
