Setting List items in C# without automatic setter/getter

Question

I\'m trying to make a manual setter/getter method in C#, but i\'m getting the following error from the \"set\"-line: Error: The best overloaded method match for \'System.Col

Answer 1

I think you have yourself a bit mixed up here.

The type of Packages is List. When you're calling packages.Add(value);, packages is in fact, List.

public List  Packages
{
    get { return packages; }
    set { packages = value; }
}

This corrects the property.

To add an item:

Packages.Add(myPackage);
