Difference between IEnumerable and List in ASP.Net MVC

Hi Rockstar8,

List is the implements from IEnumerable interface.

IEnumerable is an interface. List is a class that defines a generic collection.

IEnumerable doesn't allow random access, where as List does allow random access using integral index.

In term of performance, iterating values from IEnumerable is much faster than iterating values from a List.
