How to store Class into List in C#

Question

I know this may be silly question. But to be formal I want to store these Class field into list. I tried multiple times but still same things I am facing. I already spend couple of days' to fix this error but unsuccess Please help me on same I want to call web service and bind with drop down list. (Company, Country, Division, Location) which are there in class. But while storing in List I am not able to do that. Its thronging error for obvious region (return type not matching) Error:

(Can not implicitly convert type Almarai.GiveAway.GetInitiatorList.ALM_WKFLW_TYPE_M[] to Almarai.GiveAway.GetInitiatorList.INITIATORS_LIST[])

I understand due to return type its error appearing but how to store please guide me

I tried like:

[WebMethod]
        public static List<Devision> GetAllFields()
        {
            string userID= "1000";
            GetInitiatorList.MasterDataServiceClient oClient = new GetInitiatorList.MasterDataServiceClient();
            Almarai.GiveAway.GetInitiatorList.INITIATORS_LIST[] divisionMList = oClient.GetInitiatorsList(userID); 

            List<Devision> Division = new List<Devision>();
            foreach (Almarai.GiveAway.GetInitiatorList.INITIATORS_LIST Devision in divisionMList)
            {
                Division.Add(new Devision()
                {
                    DevisionCode = Devision.DivisionCode,
                    DevisionName = Devision.DivisionName
                });
            }
            return Division;
        }

My class Inherit with object, System.Runtime.Serialization.IExtensibleDataObject, System.ComponentModel.INotifyPropertyChanged

I am not pretty sure about this type of object. Can any one Store these class into list

@FrankNielsen I am getting error on Almarai.GiveAway.GetInitiatorList.INITIATORS_LIST[] divisionMList = oClient.GetInitiatorsList(userID); saying can not implicitly covert — Nits Patel, Sep 30 '20 at 19:50
ok, the error message says that `oClient.GetInitiatorsList(userID)` returns a different format that you code expect. Are you sure that your `class INITIATORS_LIST` is the same version as `oClient.GetInitiatorsList(userID)` returns? — Frank Nielsen, Sep 30 '20 at 19:58
@FrankNielsen yes may I post 'INITIATORS_LIST' class in my code ? Please check I have posted INITIATOR_LIST class in my updated code — Nits Patel, Sep 30 '20 at 19:59
But `INITIATORS_LIST ` class is a (auto)generate class - right? Try refresh/regenerate the class and see if the properties change. — Frank Nielsen, Sep 30 '20 at 20:08
Yes all are auto generated class only @FrankNielsen I tried multiples time create another project but not able to add in List it just because due to return type its mismatch I don't understand how to store these kind of data into list — Nits Patel, Sep 30 '20 at 20:13

You mixed up the return type of oClient.GetInitiatorsList(userID), it returns ALM_WKFLW_TYPE_M[] and not INITIATORS_LIST[].

So you WebMethod should look like this:

[WebMethod]
        public static List<Devision> GetAllFields()
        {
            string userID= "1000";
            GetInitiatorList.MasterDataServiceClient oClient = new GetInitiatorList.MasterDataServiceClient();
            var almWkflwTypeMList = oClient.GetInitiatorsList(userID); 

            List<Devision> Division = new List<Devision>();
            foreach (var almWkflwTypeM in almWkflwTypeMList)
            {
                Division.Add(new Devision()
                {
                    DevisionCode = almWkflwTypeM.DivisionCode,
                    DevisionName = almWkflwTypeM.DivisionName
                });
            }
            return Division;
        }

I tried in a similar way but I only able to access DivisionField and Workflow field I am looking for Country, Company, Location, Division these fields – Nits Patel Sep 30 '20 at 20:39
but they are not part of the result of `oClient.GetInitiatorsList(userID)` as i can see it? Then you have to clas another method on `oClient`. – Frank Nielsen Sep 30 '20 at 20:49
It is present in GetInitiatorsListByWorkflow but not able to in foreach loop – Nits Patel Sep 30 '20 at 21:06
See this is available in INTIATORLIST as you can see structure of that : INITIATORS_LIST GetInitiatorsListByWorkflow(string userId, string WorkflowTypeCode); – Nits Patel Sep 30 '20 at 21:07
well, it is a bit hard for me to help you further - since i dont known the api and the domain model. But try `GetInitiatorsListByWorkflow` when you have found the correct WorkflowTypeCode to use. – Frank Nielsen Sep 30 '20 at 21:11
Now on foreach loop its showing : foreach statement can not operate on variable of type 'INITIATOR_LIST' Because 'INITIATOR_LIST' does not contain a public instance definition for 'GetEnumerator' – Nits Patel Sep 30 '20 at 21:12
I have WorkflowTypeCode value even though I can pass WorkflowTypeCode value and able to see JSON data May it helps please – Nits Patel Sep 30 '20 at 21:13
Check the return type, it is properly returning a single instance and not an array. – Frank Nielsen Sep 30 '20 at 21:23
