Question

I am trying to add List to a site via console App. Here is what I have so far.

namespace spConsole
{
class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        using (SPSite site = new SPSite("http://spdev.com/SitePages/Home.aspx"))
        {
            SPWebCollection webcoll = site.AllWebs;

            SPWeb web = webcoll["SubSite1"];

            SPList newList = web.Lists.Add("New List", "Description", SPListTemplateType.GenericList);                             

        }
    }
}
}

I am getting the following error:
Cannot implicitly convert type ‘System.Guid’ to ‘Microsoft.SharePoint.SPList’

Can some one please tell me what I am doing wrong?

You have not created the instance of SPSite
