Creating List Classes in C#

Question

I have a question, not sure if it makes sense, but I couldn't find any answers related to it. While creating an entity class I was thinking is it possible to create a class which in itself could be used as a list. The way I do it currently is, I m not sure if its obsolete

MyEntityClass entityObj = new MyEntityClass();
List<MyEntityClass> entityList = new List<MyEntityClass>();
entityList.Add(entityObj);

is there an advanced to way to accomplish the same in C#?

If you say why do you want to do this. It would be easier to answer. — Carbine, Mar 11 '16 at 17:32
You *could* make a collection container class. If you're not adding any further functionality, though, why would you? The generic collections in .NET are generally going to cover anything you need. — Glorin Oakenfoot, Mar 11 '16 at 17:34
Occam's razor tells you not to needlessly multiply entities. — Robert Moskal, Mar 11 '16 at 17:35

Implement iEnumerable interface on your base class, this will force you to implement de definition for that interface, that will make the base clase behave as you wish.
