My first class :

public class Person

{

public string name{get; set;}

public int Id{get; set;}

public list companies {get; set;}

}

I want to list of companies the person been.

Company Class:

public class Company

{

public string name{get; set;}

public string address{get; set; }

}

In Controller I am assigning the list:

List personList = new List();

I am returning this personlist to the view.

How can I create list of user defined type within a user defined class and How can I show A person multiple companies?

Got your question
Okay let me explain you how to fill data in list

Person aperson = new Person();
aperson.companies = new List();
Company cmp =new Company();
cmp.name="test"
cmp.address="test"
aperson.companies.add(cmp);

you need to initialise list and company object both

Hi Shoaib,
Munish has explained well how to create a list of object now if you are using MVC return view with Model in MVC and you will be then able to get the list on your view. May be then you can bind the model to a gridview or perform action as per your requirement.

Hope this would help you.
List personList = new List();

            Person pers = new Person();
            pers.Id = 1;
            pers.name = "Person Name 1";
            pers.companies = new List();
            pers.companies.Add(new Company { name = "Name1", address = "Address1" });
            pers.companies.Add(new Company { name = "Name2", address = "Address2" });
            pers.companies.Add(new Company { name = "Name3", address = "Address3" });

            personList.Add(pers);

            foreach (Person p in personList)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Person ID is: {0}", p.Id);
                Console.WriteLine("Person Name is: {0}", p.name);
                foreach (Company c in p.companies)
                {
                    Console.WriteLine("Person's company name: {0}", c.name);
                    Console.WriteLine("Person's company address: {0}", c.address);
                }
            }

you can do it with foreach loop

foreach(var comp in PersonList.companies )
{
bind all td of table here
}
