Removes a range of elements from the List<T>.
public:
 void RemoveRange(int index, int count);
	public void RemoveRange(int index, int count);
	member this.RemoveRange : int * int -> unit
	Public Sub RemoveRange (index As Integer, count As Integer)
	Parameters
- index
 - Int32
 
The zero-based starting index of the range of elements to remove.
- count
 - Int32
 
The number of elements to remove.
Exceptions
index and count do not denote a valid range of elements in the List<T>.
Examples
The following example demonstrates the RemoveRange method and various other methods of the List<T> class that act on ranges. After the list has been created and modified, the RemoveRange method is used to remove two elements from the list, beginning at index location 2.

using System.Collections.Generic;
string[] input = { "Apple",
                   "Banana",
                   "Orange" };
List<string> fruits = new List<string>(input);
Console.WriteLine("\nCapacity: {0}", fruits.Capacity);
Console.WriteLine();
foreach (string fruit in fruits)
{
    Console.WriteLine(fruit);
}
Console.WriteLine("\nAddRange(fruits)");
fruits.AddRange(fruits);
Console.WriteLine();
foreach (string fruit in fruits)
{
    Console.WriteLine(fruit);
}
Console.WriteLine("\nRemoveRange(2, 2)");
fruits.RemoveRange(2, 2);
Console.WriteLine();
foreach (string fruit in fruits)
{
    Console.WriteLine(fruit);
}
input = new string[] { "Mango",
                       "Pineapple",
                       "Watermelon" };
Console.WriteLine("\nInsertRange(3, input)");
fruits.InsertRange(3, input);
Console.WriteLine();
foreach (string fruit in fruits)
{
    Console.WriteLine(fruit);
}
Console.WriteLine("\noutput = fruits.GetRange(2, 3).ToArray()");
string[] output = fruits.GetRange(2, 3).ToArray();
Console.WriteLine();
foreach (string fruit in output)
{
    Console.WriteLine(fruit);
}

	Remarks
The items are removed and all the elements following them in the List<T> have their indexes reduced by count.
This method is an O(n) operation, where n is Count.
