Generic List - moving an item within the list

Question

So I have a generic list, and an oldIndex and a newIndex value.

I want to move the item at oldIndex, to newIndex.

Answer 1

Simplest way:

list[newIndex] = list[oldIndex];
list.RemoveAt(oldIndex);

EDIT

The question isn't very clear ... Since we don't care where the list[newIndex] item goes I think the simplest way of doing this is as follows (with or without an extension method):

    public static void Move(this List list, int oldIndex, int newIndex)
    {
        T aux = list[newIndex];
        list[newIndex] = list[oldIndex];
        list[oldIndex] = aux;
    }

This solution is the fastest because it doesn't involve list insertions/removals.
