Best Extension Methods: Slice of Collection

This Extension method is to get a slice of collection from a collection.

  public static IEnumerable Slice(this IEnumerable collection, int start, int end)
        {
            int index = 0;
            int count = 0;

            if (collection == null)
                throw new ArgumentNullException("collection");

            // Optimise item count for ICollection interfaces.
            if (collection is ICollection)
                count = ((ICollection)collection).Count;
            else if (collection is ICollection)
                count = ((ICollection)collection).Count;
            else
                count = collection.Count();

            // Get start/end indexes, negative numbers start at the end of the collection.
            if (start < 0)
                start += count;

            if (end < 0)
                end += count;

            foreach (var item in collection)
            {
                if (index >= end)
                    yield break;

                if (index >= start)
                    yield return item;

                ++index;
            }
        }
    }
