Get all elements but the first from an array

Question

Is there a one-line easy linq expression to just get everything from a simple array except the first element?

for (int i = 1; i <= contents.Length - 1; i++)
    Message += contents[i];

I just wanted to see if it was easier to condense.

Answer 1

Yes, Enumerable.Skip does what you want:

contents.Skip(1)

However, the result is an IEnumerable<T>, if you want to get an array use:

contents.Skip(1).ToArray()

Answer 2

The following would be equivalent to your for loop:

foreach (var item in contents.Skip(1))
    Message += item;
