storing and retrieving from lists with custom structures in
<p>I'm having some trouble storing and retrieving items into a list&lt;> with a custom structure.</p>

<p>My structure looks like this:</p>

<pre><code>public class list_rss_parameters
{
    public string this_string { get; set; }
    public string title_start { get; set; }
    public string title_end { get; set; }
    public string description_start { get; set; }
    public string description_end { get; set; }
    public string link_start { get; set; }
    public string link_end { get; set; }
    public string publish_date_start { get; set; }
    public string publish_date_end { get; set; }
    public string author_start { get; set; }
    public string author_end { get; set; }
}
</code></pre>

<p>My storage procedure looks like this (and note that the variable names are the same as the custom Key names) Is this ok?</p>

<pre><code>        //this is the last part of a custom method that returns a list
        List&lt;list_rss_parameters&gt; list_rss_items = new List&lt;list_rss_parameters&gt;();
        list_rss_items.Add(new list_rss_parameters()
        {
            this_string = this_string,
            title_start = title_start,
            title_end = title_end,
            description_start = description_start,
            description_end = description_end,
            link_start = link_start,
            link_end = link_end,
            publish_date_start = publish_date_start,
            publish_date_end = publish_date_end,
            author_start = author_start,
            author_end = author_end
        });

        return list_rss_items;
</code></pre>

<p>If the above two setups are correct, how do I pull items out of the List once I return it?</p>

<pre><code>        List&lt;list_rss_parameters&gt; list_rss_parameters = new List&lt;list_rss_parameters&gt;();
        list_rss_parameters = f_discover_rss_parameters(rss);
        show(list_rss_parameters.Count.ToString());
        show(list_rss_parameters[0].ToString()); //does not show this_string 
        show(list_rss_parameters[this_string'] //does not show this_string 
        show(list_rss_parameters[0][this_string'];//does not show this_string 
</code></pre>

<p>What am I doing wrong? </p>
