Loading/Adding values into a Datamember of type list<string>(DataContract)?

I have a DC LoadResultwith DataMemebers of type List<string>

public partial class LoadResult : ServiceResult
  {
    [DataMember]
    public List<string> Country { get; set; }
    [DataMember]
    public List<string> AuditStatus { get; set; }
  }

trying to fill in these values in my DO by doing the following steps.

 LoadResult LResult = new LoadResult ();
//Code to connect to database , retrive appropriate values
string x = "some string value retrieved from database";
LResult.Country.Add(x);

the last line of code throws me an object reference not set to an instance error, this might be some fundamental thing that i have missed here, but since i have initialized the DC class with the new keyword, i am clueless as to what the error is, Can you help me out here

Solution

  • you need to do

    LResult.Country = new List<string>();

    before you add values
