IEnumerable<T> Interface

Exposes the enumerator, which supports a simple iteration over a collection of a specified type.

Namespace:  System.Collections.Generic
Assembly:  mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
public interface IEnumerable<out T> : IEnumerable

Type Parameters

out T

The type of objects to enumerate.

This type parameter is covariant. That is, you can use either the type you specified or any type that is more derived. For more information about covariance and contravariance, see Covariance and Contravariance in Generics.

The IEnumerable<T> type exposes the following members.

Many interfaces and classes in the System.Collections.Generic namespace inherit the IEnumerable<T> interface to implement enumerators. For an example, see the ICollection<T> interface.

Notes to Implementers

IEnumerable<T> is included for parity with non-generic collections; implementing IEnumerable<T> allows a generic collection to be passed to a method that expects an IEnumerable object.

.NET Framework

Supported in: 4, 3.5, 3.0, 2.0

.NET Framework Client Profile

Supported in: 4, 3.5 SP1

Portable Class Library

Supported in: Portable Class Library

Windows 7, Windows Vista SP1 or later, Windows XP SP3, Windows XP SP2 x64 Edition, Windows Server 2008 (Server Core not supported), Windows Server 2008 R2 (Server Core supported with SP1 or later), Windows Server 2003 SP2

The .NET Framework does not support all versions of every platform. For a list of the supported versions, see .NET Framework System Requirements.

Count() method got randomly miss.

linked from http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb360635.aspx, i went into this page, i cont file count method some times.

dont know why.
