C# / .NET - add items to List

In this article, we would like to show you how to add items to List in C#.

Quick solution:

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

myList.Add("A");

Practical example

In this example, we add three elements to myList using Add() method.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;

public class Program
{
    public static void Main()
    {
        List<string> myList = new List<string>();

        myList.Add("A");
        myList.Add("B");
        myList.Add("C");

        foreach (string item in myList)
            Console.WriteLine(item);
    }
}

Output:

A
B
C

2. Add items on creation

In this example, we present how to add items while creating List.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;

public class Program
{
    public static void Main()
    {
        List<string> myList = new List<string> { "A", "B", "C" };

        foreach (string item in myList)
            Console.WriteLine(item);
    }
}

Output:

A
B
C
