You re missing a reference to System Linq   Add  using System Linq   to get access to the ToList   function on the current code file     To give a little bit of information over why this is necessary  Enumerable ToList lt TSource gt  is an extension method  Extension methods are defined outside the original class that it targets  In this case  the extension method is defined on System Linq namespace

An alternative to adding LINQ would be to use this code instead   List lt Pax Detail gt  paxList   new List lt Pax Detail gt  pax
