Quick way to create a list of values in C#?

Question

I\'m looking for a quick way to create a list of values in C#. In Java I frequently use the snippet below:

List l = Arrays.asList(\"test1\",\"test2         


        

Answer 1

In C# 3, you can do:

IList l = new List { "test1", "test2", "test3" };

This uses the new collection initializer syntax in C# 3.

In C# 2, I would just use your second option.
