Remove items from one list in another

Solution 1:

You can use Except:

List<car> list1 = GetTheList();
List<car> list2 = GetSomeOtherList();
List<car> result = list2.Except(list1).ToList();

You probably don't even need those temporary variables:

List<car> result = GetSomeOtherList().Except(GetTheList()).ToList();

Note that Except does not modify either list - it creates a new list with the result.

You don't need an index, as the List<T> class allows you to remove items by value rather than index by using the Remove function.

foreach(car item in list1) list2.Remove(item);

I would recommend using the LINQ extension methods. You can easily do it with one line of code like so:

list2 = list2.Except(list1).ToList();

This is assuming of course the objects in list1 that you are removing from list2 are the same instance.
