Runtime: Generic List<T> source code in System.Collections.Generic?

[ganeshran]

Hi, I'm looking for source code of the Generic List class but can't find it in the folder https://github.com/dotnet/corefx/tree/master/src/System.Collections/src/System/Collections/Generic

There are test cases but the code itself is not present in the folder mentioned above.

List, along with some of the other types in System.Collections.Generic, are implemented in mscorlib, here:

https://github.com/dotnet/coreclr/blob/master/src/mscorlib/src/System/Collections/Generic/List.cs

@mellinoe Thank you!

While technically this isn't an issue, the response provided is no longer correct. It has been moved here: https://github.com/dotnet/coreclr/blob/master/src/mscorlib/shared/System/Collections/Generic/List.cs

edit: Actually, there is a new link here https://github.com/dotnet/coreclr/blob/master/src/System.Private.CoreLib/shared/System/Collections/Generic/List.cs

In general, just press T while on the repo's home page and type List.cs. If it doesn't appear in the search results, try it at the other repo's home page.

@jnm2 didn't know that useful one, thanks for sharing!

New thing I learned last week: go to http://source.dot.net, type List<, click the top entry, then click the 'Web Access' link in the bottom right corner.

Ah! kewwl!
BTW, I have source.dot.net as a Chrome search engine, so I just type so in the address bar, and hit Tab to search.

Both links provided in the answers are broken.

I believe this is the new link @Mirandatz : https://github.com/dotnet/coreclr/blob/master/src/System.Private.CoreLib/shared/System/Collections/Generic/List.cs
