Question

I have this class:

public class Lockbox
{
    string lockbox { get; set; }
    int polling_interval { get; set; }
}

In another class I made a List of Type Lockbox:

var monitor_lockboxes = new List<Lockbox>();

Now how do I add entries to the list? Can I do this?:

monitor_lockboxes.Add(...);

But it does not take 2 arguments.

Answer 1

But it does not take 2 arguments.

Well no, it wouldn’t. It takes one argument, of type Lockbox.

It sounds like you want something like:

var newBox = new Lockbox { lockbox = "foo", polling_interval = 10 };
monitor_lockboxes.Add(newBox);

You can do it in a single statement, of course – I’ve only separated it out here for clarity.

(I’d also strongly advise you to change your naming to follow .NET conventions.)
