Here's a simple example:

        
        using System;
        using System.Collections.Generic;

        public class Example {
            public static void Main(string[] args) {
                List numbers = new List();
                numbers.Add(1);
                numbers.Add(2);
                numbers.Add(3);

                Console.WriteLine(numbers);
            }
