How do I create a list of values in C# ?

C# Corner

How to create a list of values in C# based on the following data?

I have the following which I need to be converted into list:

Players: [
{
Player: {
PlayerType: Advanced,
PlayerRole: 12
}
}
]
}

and I did this

public class Players
{
public Players()
{
Player = new PlayerMemo();
}
[JsonProperty("Player")]
public Player Player { get; set; }
}
public class Player
{
public string PlayerRole { get; set; }
public string PlayerType { get; set; }
}

I need to convert this into one line list and add it to the previously declared
localvariable.list = here-goes-my-one-line-list: (something like this)

loadgroup.Players = new Players()
{
{ new Players() {"PlayerRole", "Member"} },
};

Hi Marketing,

You model should be like below
public class Player2
{
    public string PlayerType { get; set; }
    public string PlayerRole { get; set; }
}

public class Player
{
    public Player2 Player { get; set; }
}

public class PlayerDetail
{
    public string Username { get; set; }
    public string Email { get; set; }
    public string Country { get; set; }
    public string City { get; set; }
    public string Age { get; set; }
    public string Signature { get; set; }
    public List<Player> Players { get; set; }
}
In case you need in future then you can use below link to convert json to your class.

I already tried a lot of things and I added what you have suggested but I get this error message:

cannot convert from 'WindowsFormsApp8.Form1.Player' to 'WindowsFormsApp8.Form1.Players.

I don't know what's wrong with it
