You can create the list using code like:List<Employee> employees = new List<Employee>();
employees.Add(new Employee());
To return it from a method, just specify the list of Employee as the return type:public List<Employee> GetEmpCollection()
{
return new List<Employee>();
}Actually, I think it's suggested to use Collection<> for public types (List<> for internal collections) since it lets you receive notifications if the collection has changed (where List doesn't). So change that to:public Collection<Employee> GetEmpCollection()
{
return new Collection<Employee>();
}
Collection<Employee> employees = someClassInstance.GetEmpCollection();
