Yes, it is.

You can find out a lot more about it in chapter 6 of my book, C# in Depth. Fortunately chapter 6 is available for free from Manning's web site.

I also have two other articles on the book's web site.

Feedback welcome.

The chapter link redirects to the site's root, you can go straight to the C# in Depth page here: http://www.manning.com/skeet/ – aboy021 Nov 28 '11 at 19:45

To add to the link-fest, Raymond Chen did a nice little series on C# iterators a few months ago:
