How to remove item from list in C#?

List<T> has two methods you can use.

RemoveAt(int index) can be used if you know the index of the item. For example:

resultlist.RemoveAt(1);

Or you can use Remove(T item):

var itemToRemove = resultlist.Single(r => r.Id == 2);
resultList.Remove(itemToRemove);

When you are not sure the item really exists you can use SingleOrDefault. SingleOrDefault will return null if there is no item (Single will throw an exception when it can’t find the item). Both will throw when there is a duplicate value (two items with the same id).

var itemToRemove = resultlist.SingleOrDefault(r => r.Id == 2);
if (itemToRemove != null)
    resultList.Remove(itemToRemove);
