How do I copy items from list to list without foreach?

You could try this:

List<Int32> copy = new List<Int32>(original);

or if you're using C# 3 and .NET 3.5, with Linq, you can do this:

List<Int32> copy = original.ToList();

To add the contents of one list to another list which already exists, you can use:

targetList.AddRange(sourceList);

If you're just wanting to create a new copy of the list, see Lasse's answer.


For a list of elements

List<string> lstTest = new List<string>();

lstTest.Add("test1");
lstTest.Add("test2");
lstTest.Add("test3");
lstTest.Add("test4");
lstTest.Add("test5");
lstTest.Add("test6");

If you want to copy all the elements

List<string> lstNew = new List<string>();
lstNew.AddRange(lstTest);

If you want to copy the first 3 elements

List<string> lstNew = lstTest.GetRange(0, 3);
