Question

i want to declare a global linked list for a namespace in c#. i tried to extern the linked list but do not know the correct syntax. can any one tell me how to extern variables?

Answer 1

I think the C# syntax for extern is much more limited, or even radically different, from the C++ world.

.

Maybe what you really want to implement is a singleton or a static member of a class?

// Note: thread safety not implemented...
namespace Sample
{
    public class GlobalLists
    {
        public static List<SomeObject> SomeGlobalObjects;
    }
}

Then you can reference the above list as

GlobalLists.SomeGlobalObjects

in the rest of the code…
