Setting List items in C# without automatic setter/getter

Question

I\'m trying to make a manual setter/getter method in C#, but i\'m getting the following error from the \"set\"-line: Error: The best overloaded method match for \'System.Col

You can not do that.

if you are trying to set an element you should...

public void addPackage(Package pack){
    packages.Add(pack);
}

usage: MyClass m= new MyClass(); m.addPackage(new Package());

if you are trying to set the collection then ...

public List Packages
{
    set { packages=value; }
    get { return packages; }
}

usage:

MyClass m= new MyClass();
m.Packages=new List();
