Question

What is the preferable way for transferring some items (not all) from one list to another.

What I am doing is the following:

var selected = from item in items
               where item.something > 10
               select item;

otherList.AddRange(selected);

items.RemoveAll(item => selected.Contains(item));

In the interest of having the fastest/best code there is, is there a better way?

Answer 1

I’d try @Mehrdad’s answer, and maybe test it against this one too…

var selected = items.Where(item => item.Something > 10).ToList();
selected.ForEach(item => items.Remove(item));
otherList.AddRange(selected);
