Syntax

public static IList<T> AsList<T>(
	this IEnumerable<T> this,
	bool force = true,
	bool ensureReadOnly = false
)

this: Type: System.Collections.GenericIEnumerableT
The IEnumerableT to convert to list.
force (Optional): Type: SystemBoolean
If this is set to , and no suitable wrappings to IListT is found, a new IListT will be allocated and written to.
ensureReadOnly (Optional): Type: SystemBoolean
Whether to force the returned value to be immutable (or null, if force is set to )

Type: IListT
An IListT that contains this's elements, or if the conversion was not successful.

In Visual Basic and C#, you can call this method as an instance method on any object of type IEnumerableT. 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).

Remarks

If force is , the return value will never be null.

Without force set to , this will only be wrapped if it is IListT, IReadOnlyListT, or String

If this is IReadOnlyListT or String, the return value will be read-only.
