Storing MyClass values in List

Question

I am completely new to C++\CLI and I have the following problem: I have a class called, for example, MyClass, a few values of which I need to store in memory. I have decided to use List, because it is the most familiar to me, since I was using C# for a long time. So here goes the code:

//Header File
ref class MyClass
{
public:
    MyClass(void);
private:
    System::Collections::Generic::List<MyClass^> values;
};
//CPP file
MyClass::MyClass(void){
this->values=gcnew System::Collections::Generic::List<MyClass^>();
}

The compiler keeps on saying that there's an error C2582. But if there's no assignment operator, then how should I initialize the List?
Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

values should not be a List<...^>, but a List<...^>^. You want to assign a reference, not to create another clone of the list.
