Colletion To List

Question

Hello Forum I have a collection class (inherited from System.Collections.CollectionBase). I want to return the contents in a list . I do this with the following function: public List Clone() { List objMyCustomBlockList = new List (); MyCustomBlock[] objMyCustomBlockArray= new MyCustomBlock[this.List.Count]; this.List.CopyTo(objMyCustomBlockArray 0); objMyCustomBlockList.AddRange(objMyCustomBlockArray); return objMyCustomBlockList; } Is there a faster way of doing this (performance)? Is there a more elegant way of writing this code (less code)? Thank you.

If you want to clone the list of object then you can use like following code: List MyCustomBlock > lstStudent = books_1.ConvertAll(x => new MyCustomBlock { Id=x.Id Name=x.Name Description=x.Description }); // Or List MyCustomBlock > books_3 = new List MyCustomBlock >(books_1);
