You can do that with  var list   new List lt string gt    foo    bar       Here are some other common instantiations of other common Data Structures   Dictionary  var dictionary   new Dictionary lt string  string gt            texas      TX            utah       UT            florida    FL         Array list  var array   new string      foo    bar       Queue  var queque   new Queue lt int gt  new     1  2  3       Stack  var queque   new Stack lt int gt  new     1  2  3       As you can see for the majority of cases it is merely adding the values in curly braces  or instantiating a new array followed by curly braces and values

If you want to create a typed list with values  here s the syntax   Assuming a class of Student like  public class Student      public int StudentID   get  set       public string StudentName   get  set            You can make a list like this   IList lt Student gt  studentList   new List lt Student gt                       new Student    StudentID 1  StudentName  Bill                    new Student    StudentID 2  StudentName  Steve                    new Student    StudentID 3  StudentName  Ram                    new Student    StudentID 1  StudentName  Moin

If you re looking to reduce clutter  consider  var lst   new List lt string gt     foo    bar       This uses two features of C  3 0  type inference  the var keyword  and the collection initializer for lists   Alternatively  if you can make do with an array  this is even shorter  by a small amount    var arr   new       foo    bar
