List<T> Constructor (IEnumerable<T>)

Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

Initializes a new instance of the List<T> class that contains elements copied from the specified collection and has sufficient capacity to accommodate the number of elements copied.

Namespace:  System.Collections.Generic
Assembly:  mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Sub New ( _
    collection As IEnumerable(Of T) _
)

public List(
    IEnumerable<T> collection
)

Parameters

Exceptions

Exception Condition
ArgumentNullException

collection is nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).

Remarks

The capacity of a List<T> is the number of elements that the List<T> can hold. As elements are added to a List<T>, the capacity is automatically increased as required by reallocating the internal array.

If the size of the collection can be estimated, specifying the initial capacity eliminates the need to perform a number of resizing operations while adding elements to the List<T>.

The capacity can be decreased by calling the TrimExcess method or by setting the Capacity property explicitly. Decreasing the capacity reallocates memory and copies all the elements in the List<T>.

The elements are copied onto the List<T> in the same order they are read by the enumerator of the collection.

This constructor is an O(n) operation, where n is the number of elements in collection.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates the List<T> constructor and various methods of the List<T> class that act on ranges. An array of strings is created and passed to the constructor, populating the list with the elements of the array. The Capacity property is then displayed, to show that the initial capacity is exactly what is required to hold the input elements.
