C# HOW TO USE THE LIST OBJECT

In this short example I will show you how easy it is to actually create a List object and add some objects to it.

The List Object resides in the System.Collections.Generic;

That's why you must include that namespace before creating the List Object.

That it achieved by adding this line at the top of your .cs file.

using System.Collections.Generic;

with that said, let's jump to the code.


****************************************************

using System;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.Linq;

using System.Text;

using System.Collections.Generic;

namespace List_Test

{

    class Program

    {

        static void Main(string[] args)

        {

               // Creates the List Object and assign space to it.

            List<string> list = new List<string>();

            list.Add("one");//adds "one" to the list

            list.Add("two");//adds "two" to the list

            list.Add("three");//adds "three" to the list

           

            /*ITERATES OVER THE LIST OF TYPE STRING, IN EACH ITERATION

                  THE ACTUAL VALUE IS ASSIGNED TO THE TEMP VARIABLE tempString*/

            foreach (string tempString in list)

            {

                    //shows the ToString() method return string in the Command Prompt.

                Console.WriteLine(tempString.ToString());

            }

            //END MESSAGE

            Console.WriteLine("END, press any key to quit.");

            Console.ReadKey();//WAITS FOR USER INPUT TO CLOSE THE APPLICATION

        }

    }

}

SCREENSHOTS:

Step 1 :

Add the System.Collections.Generic to the top.

Step 2:
Place The code in the Main method.

 Step 3:
Run the application. (F5 if using Visual C# or Microsoft Visual Studio)

I hope it helped you out in some way.
