Search in part of the list by LINQ

I want to know if there's a way to search from a specific index in LINQ

This is what i want to do for example :

 //search after the 4th element if exist any true
     bool result = myList.Any(a=>a.flagTodo) 
// in my case I want to do like:  myList.where(a=>a.index >4).Any(a=>a.flagTodo)

there's any way to do it in the same linq ?

You can use Enumerable.Skip to bypass specified number of elements in sequence:

bool result = myList.Skip(4).Any(a => a.flagTodo);

BTW you don't need to verify list length - if there is less than 4 items, result will be false - Skip(4) will return empty sequence. And Any returns false because none of elements in sequence satisfies condition (sequence is empty).

Either use Skip as others have mentioned or pass the index so that you can use it in Any

bool result = myList.Select((obj, index) => new { obj, index })
                    .Any(x => x.index > 4 && x.obj.flagTodo);

You can skip the first 4 elements. 

 bool result = myList.Skip(4).Any(a => a.flagTodo);

But you need to check on your list length first before calling this statement.
