How to initialize a list of strings (List<string>) with many string values

Question

How is it possible to initialize (with a C# initializer) a list of strings? I have tried with the example below but it's not working.

List<string> optionList = new List<string> {     "AdditionalCardPersonAddressType","AutomaticRaiseCreditLimit","CardDeliveryTimeWeekDay" }(); 

Answer 1

Just remove () at the end.

List<string> optionList = new List<string>             { "AdditionalCardPersonAdressType", /* rest of elements */ };
