Can you insert at position 0 in a List?

Question

I need to insert an object at the beginning of a collection.

My colleciton is of type List

How can I do this?

Answer 1

Sure can; for example a generic List of strings:

List<string> values = new List<string>();
values.Insert(0, "NewString");

Answer 2

Take a look at the Insert() method

myList.Insert(0, [item to insert])

Answer 3

Inserting an item at index 0 will place the inserted object at the beginning of the list and the other items will be shifted up by one.

Answer 4

You can use the Insert method.

List<string> strings = new List<string> { "B", "C", "D" };
strings.Insert(0, "A");
