Question

I need to extract the items from a list in reverse order (from last entry to the first). I’ve managed to get all the items but, from the first to the last. Here is part of the code I am using:

The List is on a different site collection.

     using (SPSite oSite = new SPSite("urltolist"))
        {

            using (SPWeb oWeb = oSite.RootWeb)
            {
                SPList FItem = oWeb.Lists["List"];



                foreach (SPListItem item in FItem.Items)             
                {
                 //Display entries
                }
             }
       }

You don’t need to dispose of the RootWeb in this case.

using(var site = new SPSite("urltolist"))
{
    var list = site.RootWeb.Lists["List"];
    foreach(var li in list.Items.Cast<SPListItem>().Reverse().ToList())
    {
        // Display entries
    }
}
