I am not sure how to fix this problem I've stumbled into...
I have a list<> of an interface type. I need to pass that list to a
method that adds more objects to the list.
But, eventually, I need to get back to the original list<> object.
---
In other words; let's say I start with an List<> of 3 objects. I call a
method that adds 5 more objects to that List<>. I continue on with my
work. Once I'm done, I need to get back to my original list of 3 objects.
My first guess is I to use a copy of my List object when I call the
appender method. But, I'm not sure how you can copy a List<> object.

Can't you just pass the original list you're cloning as an actual parameter
argument to the ctor?
List<string> workingNames = new List<string>(na mes);

That is awesome!
Yes that works! You saved me from doing a foreach... and adding the
elements one at a time into a new List.
Thanks a million!

Hello all,
After perusing the Standard, I believe it is true to say that once you
insert an element into a std::list<>, its location in memory never changes.
This makes a std::list<> ideal for storing vertices of an arbitrary n-ary
tree where a vertex contain pointers to its parent / children. These parent
/ child vertices need to stay put if we've got pointers to them somewhere!
Am I correct in my assertion?

Hi,
I feel I'm going around circles on this one and would appreciate some other
points of view.
From a design / encapsulation point of view, what's the best practise for
returning a private List<as a property.
Consider the example below, the class "ListTest" contains a private "List<>"
called "strings" - it also provides a public method to add to that list,

I'm airing frustration here, but why does LinkedList<not support the
same sort and search methods as List<>? I want a container that does not
support random access, allows forward and reverse traversal and
natively supports sorting, i.e., STL's list<T>. There isn't even a set of
algorithms that would allow me to easily sort a generic collection.
System.Array has a robust set of static algorithms, why not extend this to
ICollection?

This returns the following error:
"Cannot modify the return value of

and I have no idea why! Do lists return copies of their elements?
Why can't I change the element itself?

This seems inconsistent and more than a little bizarre.
Array.Clear sets all elements of the array to their default values (0,
null, whatever), whereas List<>.Clear removes all items from the list.
That part makes a reasonable amount of sense, as you can't actually take
items away from an Array. However, there doesn't seem to be a way to
perform the same operation in one fell swoop on a List<>.
For example:

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
