Type Parameters
- TSource
The type of the elements of source.
Usage Note
In Visual Basic and C#, you can call this method as an instance method on any object of type IQueryable<(Of <(TSource>)>). When you use instance method syntax to call this method, omit the first parameter. For more information, see Extension Methods (Visual Basic) or Extension Methods (C# Programming Guide).

The Skip<(Of <(TSource>)>)(IQueryable<(Of <(TSource>)>), Int32) method generates a MethodCallExpression that represents calling Skip<(Of <(TSource>)>)(IQueryable<(Of <(TSource>)>), Int32) itself as a constructed generic method. It then passes the MethodCallExpression to the CreateQuery(Expression) method of the IQueryProvider represented by the Provider property of the source parameter.
The query behavior that occurs as a result of executing an expression tree that represents calling Skip<(Of <(TSource>)>)(IQueryable<(Of <(TSource>)>), Int32) depends on the implementation of the type of the source parameter. The expected behavior is that it skips the first count elements in source and returns the remaining elements.
The following code example demonstrates how to use Skip<(Of <(TSource>)>)(IQueryable<(Of <(TSource>)>), Int32) to skip a specified number of elements in a sorted array and return the remaining elements.
Dim grades() As Integer = {59, 82, 70, 56, 92, 98, 85}
' Sort the grades in descending order and
' get all except the first three.
Dim lowerGrades = grades.AsQueryable() _
.OrderByDescending(Function(g) g) _
.Skip(3)
Dim output As New System.Text.StringBuilder
output.AppendLine("All grades except the top three are:")
For Each grade As Integer In lowerGrades
output.AppendLine(grade)
Next
' Display the output.
MsgBox(output.ToString())
' This code produces the following output:
' All grades except the top three are:
' 82
' 70
' 59
' 56
int[] grades = { 59, 82, 70, 56, 92, 98, 85 };
// Sort the grades in descending order and
// get all except the first three.
IEnumerable<int> lowerGrades =
grades.AsQueryable().OrderByDescending(g => g).Skip(3);
Console.WriteLine("All grades except the top three are:");
foreach (int grade in lowerGrades)
Console.WriteLine(grade);
/*
This code produces the following output:
All grades except the top three are:
82
70
59
56
