int processed   0  foreach ListViewItem lvi in listView Items         do stuff    if    processed    50  break      or use LINQ  foreach  ListViewItem lvi in listView Items Cast lt ListViewItem gt    Take 50           do stuff     or just use a regular for loop  as suggested by  sgriffinusa and  Eric J    for int i   0  i  lt  50  amp  amp  i  lt  listView Items Count  i          ListViewItem lvi   listView Items i

Why not just use a regular for loop   for int i   0  i  lt  50  amp  amp  i  lt  listView Items Count  i          ListViewItem lvi   listView Items i       Updated to resolve bug pointed out by Ruben and Pragmatrix

Or just use a regular for loop instead of foreach   A for loop is slightly faster  though you won t notice the difference except in very time critical code
