How can I initialize a C# List in the same line I declare it. (IEnumerable string Collection Example)
var list = new List<string> { "One", "Two", "Three" };
Essentially the syntax is:
new List<Type> { Instance1, Instance2, Instance3 };
Which is translated by the compiler as
List<string> list = new List<string>();
list.Add("One");
list.Add("Two");
list.Add("Three");
Change the code to
List<string> nameslist = new List<string> {"one", "two", "three"};
or
List<string> nameslist = new List<string>(new[] {"one", "two", "three"});
Just lose the parenthesis:
var nameslist = new List<string> { "one", "two", "three" };
