Is there a way to create a `Method` that creates a new instance of a `List` as a `Method Parameter`and does something with the new `List`?

```
    private void ApplyMaxValue(List<double> list, double myDouble, Border border) 
    {
        list = new List<double>();
        list.Add(myDouble * 8);
        border.Width = list.Max();
    }

```

I would like to be able to pass values like this where `someListToCreate` is created in the `Method` rather than using an existing list. 

```
    ApplyMaxValue(someListToCreate, aDouble, myBorder);

```

I am still a little new to C# and not sure if `Methods` are capable of this or if I would need to create a `Class`.

**EDIT**

Code with demonstration of Method
