I figured, why? If I want to move something to position 50, but there are only 5 values in the List, is it reasonable to assume that I want it to go to the last spot, since 50 isn't available? Maybe. Especially in the case where I'm presenting the user a grid, and allowing them to change a row's index manually. I'd rather not bother testing the number they enter, and just assume that if they put an index greater than exists that they want it to be inserted at the end.
This really isn't challenging code or anything, but it's useful, and the first time I thought of it, so I'll share:
public static void SafeInsert<t>(this IList<t> list, int index, T val){ if (index < 0) list.Insert(0, val); else if (index > list.Count) list.Insert(list.Count, val); else list.Insert(index, val); }
