List c# The name "list.add" does not exist in this context

Question

So in school We are learning to use WPF for user interfaces and i've came along a problem in my c# code.

List<string> list = new List<string>();
list.Add("asdfasdf");

Visual studio gives a couple of errors for "list.Add" but basicaly it says "The name 'list' does not exist in current context".

I have no idea whats wrong and would apreciate anyones help.

Answer 1

I think you must add to your code:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;

Please add all your code if you want more help.

Answer 2

我认为能够调用 list.Add 你必须从函数或 void 调用它（例如 static void main()）

Answer 3

Based on your explanation you seem to be missing a reference. Add this to where you reference your libraries.

using System.Collections.Generic;
