Need c# to populate a number of records of a class in code

Question

I am new to C# and this code does not compile. I am trying to populate the List. The syntax of the three record values contains squiggly lines. Can you please help me? Thanks...John

private class Divisions {
   protected int uidDvsn { get; set; }
   protected string nameDvsn { get; set; }
}
private List<Divisions> divisions = {{1, "AL"}, { 2, "KEN" }, { 3, "FLA" }};

C# does not have such class initializer ({1, "AL"}) only for dictionary key-value. {new Divisions{uidDvsn =1, nameDvsn = "AL"}} will be valid. — Dmitriy Korolev, Apr 25 '21 at 00:44

The best way to do it, by using the following instruction:

private List<Divisions> divisions = new List<Divisions>() {
     new Divisions() { uidDvsn = 1, nameDvsn = "AL" },
     new Divisions() { uidDvsn = 2, nameDvsn = "KEN" }
};

This won't work until the properties are set to `public` instead of `protected`. – gunr2171 Apr 25 '21 at 00:51

Yes, that's true, he should make them public or set getter and setter for each property. – Yassine Maghfour Apr 25 '21 at 00:55
Excellent ANSWER both with the "New Divisions" construct and also the change to PUBLIC. You guys are GREAT!!! thanks...John D. – John D Apr 25 '21 at 01:04
