How to get the individual value of a public static list

//get value error
Console.WriteLine(lbl_test.module_a.moduleoutput[0]);


public static List<string> moduleoutput()
{
    List<string> output = new List<string>();
    output.Add("test 1");
    output.Add("test 2");
    output.Add("test 3");
    return output;
}

Error:
Cannot apply indexing with [] to an expression of type ‘method group’

Answer 1

You need to get the list first before you can access it by the indexer. So the method call is missing(the parentheses). moduleoutput is a method not a variable.

Console.WriteLine(lbl_test.module_a.moduleoutput()[0]);

Search for Method Access here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms173114.aspx

Calling a method on an object is like accessing a field. After the
object name, add a period, the name of the method, and parentheses.
Arguments are listed within the parentheses, and are separated by
commas.
