To initialize a list to an empty list in C#, set it like the following statement without any elements −
List<string> list = new List<string>();
Now, use the Any() method to check whether the list is empty or not −
bool chk = !list.Any();
Let us see the complete code −
using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; public class Program { public static void Main() { // empty list List<string> list = new List<string>(); // check for empty list bool chk = !list.Any(); if(chk) { Console.WriteLine("List is Empty!"); } else { Console.WriteLine("List isn't Empty!"); } } }
List is Empty!
