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

Question

How do I transfer the items contained in one List to another in C# without using foreach?

Answer 1

This method will create a copy of your list but your type should be serializable.

Use:

List lstStudent = db.Students.Where(s => s.DOB < DateTime.Now).ToList().CopyList(); 

Method:

public static List CopyList(this List lst)
    {
        List lstCopy = new List();
        foreach (var item in lst)
        {
            using (MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream())
            {
                BinaryFormatter formatter = new BinaryFormatter();
                formatter.Serialize(stream, item);
                stream.Position = 0;
                lstCopy.Add((T)formatter.Deserialize(stream));
            }
        }
        return lstCopy;
    }
