Generic List GetRange() Method
.Net framework generic list GetRange() method allow us to create a
shallow copy of a range of elements in the source List<T>.the
GetRange() method is exists under System.Collections.Generic namespace. this
method require to pass two parameters, named 'index' and 'count'.
both 'index' and 'count' parameters data type is System.Int32. the 'index' represent the zero based List<T> index at which the range startsand the 'count' represent the number of elements in the range.
this method return value type is System.Collections.Generic.List<T>. this returned List<T> is a shallow copy of a range of elements in the sourceList<T>. this method throw ArgumentOutOfRangeException exception if the 'index' is less than zero (0) or 'count' is less than 0. this method also throwArgumentException exception if the 'index' and 'count' do not denote a valid range of elements in the List<T>.
the following asp.net c# example code demonstrate us how can we get a shallow copy of a range of elements in the source generic listin an asp.net application.
