Collection<string> myCollection = new Collection<string>;
foreach (string curString in myCollection.Skip(3))
//Dostuff
Skip is an IEnumerable function that skips however many you specify starting at the current index. On the other hand, if you wanted to use only the first three you would use .Take:
foreach (string curString in myCollection.Take(3))
These can even be paired together, so if you only wanted the 4-6 items you could do:
foreach (string curString in myCollection.Skip(3).Take(3))
You can use Enumerable.Skip to skip some elements, and have it start there.
For example:
foreach(item in theTree.Skip(9)) // Skips the first 9 items
{
// Do something
However, if you're writing a tree, you might want to provide a member on the tree item itself that will return a new IEnumerable<T> which will enumerate from there down. This would, potentially, be more useful in the long run.
Foreach will iterate over your collection in the way defined by your implementation of IEnumerable. So, although you can skip elements (as suggested above), you're still technically iterating over the elements in the same order.
Not sure what you are trying to achieve, but your class could have multiple IEnumerable properties, each of which enumerates the elements in a specific order.
