C# initialize list property [closed]

Answer 1

Not sure what you are asking. Are you looking for a combination of object and collection initialization?

RootObject robj = new RootObject() 
{
    inchistory = new List() 
    {
       new Inchistory() 
       {
           r = "foo",
           reference = "bar",
           customerinfo = new CustomerInfo()
           {
                customername = "joe blogs",
                address = "somewhere",
                postcode = "xxx xxxx"
           },
           region = "somewhere"
       },
       new Inchistory()
       {
           // etc
       }
    }
};

Or if you don't have things to add right now, you can just do:

RootObject robj = new RootObject() 
{
    inchistory = new List() 
};

Or you could actually initialize the list inside the class constructor as David suggested.
