Re: generic List<>

Nope. By design you are not allowed to make any changes to the
collection you are iterating.
The workaround for this depends on the situation. For most scenarios,
you could just copy the references of the objects you wish to be deleted
in another collection and then, while iterating the latter, delete these
objects from the former.

List<myObject> myTemp = new List<myObject>();

foreach (MyObject mo in myObjects)
{
    if (mo.CanBeRemoved==true)
        myTemp.Add(mo);
}

foreach (MyObject mo in myTemp)
        myObjects.Remove(mo);
