C# The type or namespace name `List' could not be found. But I'm importing System.Collections.Generic;

I'm having an error

The type or namespace name `List' could not be found. Are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?

Sample code:

using UnityEngine; using System.Collections; using System.Collections.Generic; public class city1 : MonoBehaviour  {      public static List<string> items = new List ();    public static List<double> itemsprice = new List();    public static List<double> qu = new List(); } 

I'm using mono if it matters.

The issue comes from your instantiation of new List(). These also need the generic component:

public static List<string> items = new List<string>(); public static List<double> itemsprice = new List<double>(); public static List<double> qu = new List<double>(); 

That is, there is no type List but there is a generic type List<T>.

More information and examples of instantiating the generic List<T> can be found in the MSDN documentation.
