Linq to sql (List and ienumberable

Hi,

A List is a concrete implementation of IEnumerable.

The difference is that IEnumerable is merely a sequence of string but a List is indexable by an int index, can be added to and removed from and have items inserted at a particular index.

The interface IEnumerable lets you stream the string in the sequence but List lets you do this as well as modify and access the items in the lists in specific ways. An IEnumerable is general sequence of string that can be iterated but doesn't allow random access.A List is a specific random-access variable-size collection.
