C# functions and classes help

say i have

class temp {
  private List<temp3> aList = new List<temp3>();
  public List<temp3> getAList()
  {
     return this.aList;
  }
  public temp() {
  }
}

class temp3 {
  public temp3() {}
}

now i have an other class

class temp2 {
  private temp t = new temp();

  t.aList.Add(new temp3()); 
}

will

t.getAList.Add(new temp3());

really add temp3 to the aList in temp c开发者_StackOverflowlass?

No.

The line should be:

 t.getAList().Add(new temp3()); 

EDIT after reading the comments: put that line in a method.

temp.aList is private, so no that wouldn't work. What you would want to do is add a property to the temp class:

public List<temp3> AList  
{  
    get {return aList;}  
    set {aList = value;}  
}

And then use it as t.AList.Add(new temp3())

And as Akram Shahda point out in the comments, you have to create a method in the class for it. You can't use statements like that directly in the class.

aList is private you cant reach it this way t.aList.Add(new temp3()); . you should be using the get method getAList()like this t.getAList.Add(new temp3());

below code does what you want to do

using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Text;

namespace Project4
{
  class temp {
  private List<temp3> aList = new List<temp3>();
  public List<temp3> getAList
  {
     get{return aList;}
      set{aList = value;}
  }
  public temp() {
  }
}

class temp3 {
  public temp3() {}
}

class temp2 {
    public static void Method()
    { 
        temp t = new temp();
        t.getAList.Add(new temp3());
    }

}
}
