Thoughts on foreach with Enumerable.Range vs traditional for loop

Question

In C# 3.0, I\'m liking this style:

// Write the numbers 1 thru 7
foreach (int index in Enumerable.Range( 1, 7 ))
{
    Console.WriteLine(index);
}

Answer 1

I think Range is useful for working with some range inline:

var squares = Enumerable.Range(1, 7).Select(i => i * i);

You can each over. Requires converting to list but keeps things compact when that's what you want.

Enumerable.Range(1, 7).ToList().ForEach(i => Console.WriteLine(i));

But other than for something like this, I'd use traditional for loop.
