Collections - List class

A List can be used to create a list of elements of a specific datatype.

A list  which contains integer type as below
List<int> lEmp=new List<int>();
It returns a list of employee numbers with single column as below

ID
1
2
3
4
5

To create a list with multiple columns, it would be the better approach to create a List which stores a class with multiple properties.

Let us suppose we have to return employee information with multiple columns  as below

ID
Name
Address
Phone
1
Rama
Hyd
123456
2
Suresh
Sec
545544
3
Venkat
Warangal
989889
4
Mahesh
Delhi
454545

We need to create a list which returns a list employee information as below

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;


 public class Employee
    {
        public int ID { get; set; }
        public string Name { get; set; }
        public string Address { get; set; }
        public int Phone { get; set; }
    }

  public  class Employeeinformation
    {        
        public void GetEmployeeInformation()
        {
            List<Employee> lstEmp = new List<Employee>();
            Program lc = new Program();
            lstEmp.Add(new Employee { ID = 1, Name = "Rama", Address = "Hyd", Phone = 12346 });
            lstEmp.Add(new Employee { ID = 2, Name = "Suresh", Address = "Sec", Phone = 545544 });
            lstEmp.Add(new Employee { ID = 3, Name = "Venkat", Address = "Warangal", Phone = 989889 });
            lstEmp.Add(new Employee { ID = 4, Name = "Mahesh", Address = "Delhi", Phone = 454545});
            lc.employee(lstEmp);
        }
    }

public class Program
    {
        public void employee(List<Employee> emp)
        {
            foreach (var item in emp)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("ID={0},Name={1},Address={2},Phone={3}", item.ID, item.Name, item.Address, item.Phone);
            }       
        }
 public static void Main()
 {
  Employeeinformation einfo = new Employeeinformation();
            einfo.GetEmployeeInformation();
 }
    }

The above code results as below

ID=1,Name=Rama,Address=Hyd,Phone=12346
ID=2,Name=Suresh,Address=Sec,Phone=545544
ID=3,Name=Venkat,Address=Warangal,Phone=989889
ID=4,Name=Mahesh,Address=Delhi,Phone=454545
