    copied!<p>Generics rookie struggling to access a list inside a class which is contained in a list. Basically I am trying to list the occupations of people that the user entered (I am sure there is an easier way of doing this, but this code was made to practise generics).</p> <p><strong>Class Code</strong></p> <pre><code>namespace GenericPersonClass { class GenericPerson&lt;T&gt; { static public List&lt;T&gt; Occupations = new List&lt;T&gt;(); string name, famName; int age; public GenericPerson(string nameS,string famNameS,int ageI, T Note) { name = nameS; famName = famNameS; age = ageI; Occupations.Add(Note); } public override string ToString() { return "The name is " + name + " " + famName + " and they are " + age; } } } </code></pre> <p><strong>Main Code</strong></p> <pre><code>namespace GenericPersonClass { class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { string token=null; string nameS, lastNameS,occS; int age; List&lt;GenericPerson&lt;string&gt;&gt; Workers = new List&lt;GenericPerson&lt;string&gt;&gt;(); while (token != "no" || token != "No") { Console.WriteLine("Please enter the first name of the person to input"); nameS = Console.ReadLine(); Console.WriteLine("Please enter the last name of the person " + nameS); lastNameS = Console.ReadLine(); Console.WriteLine("How old is " + nameS + " " + lastNameS); age = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine()); Console.WriteLine("What is the occupation of " + nameS + " " + lastNameS); occS = Console.ReadLine(); Console.WriteLine("Enter more data?...Yes/No"); Workers.Add(new GenericPerson&lt;string&gt;(nameS, lastNameS, age, occS)); token = Console.ReadLine(); } Console.WriteLine("You provide the following employment...\n"); for (int i = 0; i &lt; Workers.Count; ++i) { Console.WriteLine("{0} \n", Workers[0].Occupations[i]); //This line above is shown as wrong by VS2010, and intellisense does not see Occupations... } } } } </code></pre> <p>Thanks for any help, Leo</p>
