Skip

The Skip feature defined in the Specification behaves the same as Skip in Linq, and it accepts an int count as a parameter.

Skip is used to skip a certain number of the results in a query, starting from the beginning. For example:

int[] numbers = { 1, 3, 2, 5, 7, 4 };

IEnumerable<int> subsetOfNumbers = numbers.Skip(2);

Here, subsetOfNumbers would contain { 2, 5, 7, 4 }.

Alternatively:

int[] numbers = { 1, 3, 2, 5, 7, 4 };

IEnumerable<int> subsetOfNumbers = numbers.OrderBy(n => n).Skip(2);

Here, subsetOfNumbers would contain { 3, 4, 5, 7 }.

Skip is commonly used in combination with Take to implement Paging, but as the above demonstrates, Skip can also be used on its own.
