Split List of Objects at every 8th

[arina]

I have a variable with type list of objects. How do I split it at every 8th?

[ppr (Peter Preuss)]

in general we are working with skip and take

Find some starter help here:

Process repeated for each multiple rows

@christine.tzenghy let me introduce a general approach that can be also adopted to more case specific details. Assumptons: DataTable with 8 Rows Segmentsize: 3 Following Building Blocks are used Calculation of the numbers of segments: [grafik] with the Ceiling method the fractions are uprounded to the next Integer with the Skip() and Take() Method the Rows for a segment can be retrieved. the different segments are bult by following [grafik] and do fetch the different segment rows by: …

Also have a look here (done with array, but will also work with lists)

Select and Loop through X Number of Items in Array

As an alternate we can also present following compact approach:

we do split into segments (size is 8)
each segment is an array (we can also produce others e.g. list)
all segments are returned as a list

incomplete segments on the end are catched and is handled

mind showing how to adjust your xaml example with it?

Hi,

The following is mostly same as @ppr 's approach. Hope this help you.

Enumerable.Range(0,listObj.Count\8 -CInt(listObj.Count mod 8>0)).Select(Function(i) listObj.Skip(i*8).Take(8).ToList()).ToArray
