How do I select all elements in List<Int32> into another List<Int32> with LINQ?

Question

How can I select all elements from list1 into list2 below by using LINQ?

List<Int32> list1 = GetList();
List<Int32> list2 = from e in list2 select ????? 

Answer 1

Why no one suggest this solution:

List<int> list1 = GetTheList();
List<int> list2 = list1.ToList();

and why don't you feel strange about:

.Select(x => x)

this expression does nothing.

Answer 2

No need to hit up LINQ just to copy all elements from a list:

List<Int32> list1 = GetList();
List<Int32> list2 = new List<Int32>(list1);

Answer 3

With LINQ:

List<int> list1 = GetList();
List<int> list2 = list1.Select(x => x).ToList();

The easier way would be

List<int> list2 = new List<int>(list1);

Answer 4

As below :

List<Int32> list1 = GetList(); 
List<Int32> list2 = (from e in list2 select e).ToList();

or

    list1 =  GetList(); 
   List<Int32> list2 = new List<Int32>(list1); 

Answer 5

I am not sure if this is what you want. But something like this:

List<Int32> list2 = (from e in list2 select e).ToList();

or

List<Int32> list2 =list1.Select (l =>l).ToList();
