Rookie question:

I have been experiencing a minor bug in my mvc2 application. I was able to trace it back to this code:

List<Stream2FieldTypes> Stream2FieldTypes = new List<Stream2FieldTypes>();
foreach (var item in stream.Stream2FieldTypes) 
{ 
   Stream2FieldTypes.Add(item); 
}

The problem that I am experiencing is that when I instatiate the new list, it has a count of one. I’m thinking that this is probably due to my using the constructor. So I tried this:

List<Stream2FieldTypes> Stream2FieldTypes;
foreach (var item in stream.Stream2FieldTypes) 
{ 
   Stream2FieldTypes.Add(item); 
}

But, of course this will not compile because of an error on Stream2FieldTypes.Add(item);. Is there a way that I can create a List<Stream2FieldTypes> and make sure that the count is zero?

    No, that’s totally impossible. Your problem is somewhere else and unrelated to the number of elements of a newly instantiated list.

    List<Stream2FieldTypes> Stream2FieldTypes = new List<Stream2FieldTypes>();

    Stream2FieldTypes.Count will be 0 at this point no matter what you do (assuming of course single threaded sequential access but List<T> is not thread-safe anyways so it’s a safe assumption :-)).
