XmlNodeList to List<xmlnode> without using a loop:

var doc = new XmlDocument();
doc.LoadXml("<root><child /><child /></root>");
var xmlNodeList = doc.ChildNodes;
var nodees = new List<XmlNode>(xmlNodeList.Cast<XmlNode>());

hope it helps

are you sure that it works?
i tried this in vb.net:
Dim nodes as New List(Of xmlNode)
nodes=xmlNodeList.Cast(Of xmlNode)()

but it gave the following exception:
Unable to cast object of type '<castiterator>d__aa`1[System.Xml.XmlNode]' to type 'System.Collections.Generic.List`1[System.Xml.XmlNode]'.

your VB is not equivalent to my C#.

Dim nodes as New List(Of xmlNode)(xmlNodeList.Cast(Of xmlNode)())

you need to pass the return value of the Cast method into the generic List constructor.

This compiled and ran, where mds.SitesNode is an xml node.
var nodees = new System.Collections.Generic.List<xmlnode>(mds.SitesNode.ChildNodes.Cast<xmlnode>());
