List Object Methods

The RemoveAt method is used to remove an element at a specific index from a List object.
The Remove method is used to remove the first occurrence of a specific object from a List object.

List Object Properties

The Count property returns the number of elements in a List object.
The Capacity property indicates the number of items a List can hold without needing to grow.

Inserting Elements

In LINQ, an example of a projection is when you use the select clause to transform or flatten a result set.

Anonymous Types

Specifying a different name for a property inside an anonymous type definition allows the property to be referred to by that name.
