how to adjust “is a type but is used like a variable”?

Question

I\'m trying to generate some code in a web service. But it\'s returning 2 errors:

1) List is a type but is used like a variable

2) No overload for method \

Answer 1

The problem is at the line

List li = List();

you need to add "new"

List li = new List();

Additionally for the next line should be:

li.Add(new Customer{Name="yusuf", SurName="karatoprak", Number="123456"});

EDIT: If you are using VS2005, then you have to create a new constructor that takes the 3 parameters.

public Customer(string name, string surname, string number)
{
     this.name = name;
     this.surname = surname;
     this.number = number;
}
