public static List Title()

{

List items = new List();

items.Add(new SelectListItem { Text = "MR", Value = "" });

items.Add(new SelectListItem { Text = "MRS", Value = "" });

return items;

}

Please in the above code. Is there any possible way to automatically populate the value with the the vallue of the Text. Thanks

Accepted answer
In that case, I wouldn't use an object initializer - I'd add a constructor (or another constructor) to the SelectListItem class and use that instead:

public class SelectListItem
{
public string Text {get; set;}
public string Value {get; set;}

public SelectListItem(string text)
{
Value = Text = text;
}

// other code
}

// ...

public static List Title()
{
List items = new List();
items.Add(new SelectListItem("MR"));
items.Add(new SelectListItem("MRS"));
return items;
}

Well, if you're setting the Text property anyway can't you just set the Value property to the same value?

items.Add(new SelectListItem { Text = "MR", Value = "MR" });
items.Add(new SelectListItem { Text = "MRS", Value = "MRS" });

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

    {

        List<String> vegetables = new List<String>();

        vegetables.Add("tomato");

        vegetables.Add("carrot");

        vegetables.Add("celery");

        vegetables.Add("potato");

       textBox1.Text = displayMembers(vegetables);

    }

    public string displayMembers(List<String> vegetables)

    {

        foreach (String s in vegetables)

        {
```
            someTextBox.Text = String.Join(Environment.NewLine, vegetables);
```
        }

        return null;

    }
