Answer 1

I think this will work for int, long and string values.

List<int> list = new List<int>(new int[]{ 2, 3, 7 });


var animals = new List<string>() { "bird", "dog" };

Answer 2

This is one way.

List<int> list = new List<int>{ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 };

This is another way.

List<int> list2 = new List<int>();

list2.Add(1);

list2.Add(2);

Same goes with strings.

Eg:

List<string> list3 = new List<string> { "Hello", "World" };
