C# Foreach statement does not contain public definition for GetEnumerator -

i'm having problem windows form application i'm building in c#. error stating "foreach statement cannot operate on variables of type 'carbootsale.carbootsalelist' because 'carbootsale.carbootsalelist' not contain public definition 'getenumerator'".

i can't seem understand causing this.

this code throwing error:

        list<carbootsalelist> sortcarboot = new list<carbootsalelist>();          foreach (carbootsale c in carbootsalelist)         {             if (c.charity == "n/a")             {                 sortcarboot.add(carbootsalelist);                 textreportgenerator.generateallreport(sortcarboot, appdata.charity);             }         } 

and carbootsalelist class it's saying there isn't getenumerator definition:

public class carbootsalelist {      private list<carbootsale> carbootsales;      public carbootsalelist()     {         carbootsales = new list<carbootsale>();     }      public bool addcarbootsale(carbootsale carbootsale)     {         bool success = true;         foreach (carbootsale cbs in carbootsales)         {             if (cbs.id == carbootsale.id)             {                 success = false;             }         }         if (success)         {             carbootsales.add(carbootsale);         }         return success;     }      public void deletecarbootsale(carbootsale carbootsale)     {         carbootsales.remove(carbootsale);     }      public int getlistsize()     {         return carbootsales.count();     }      public list<carbootsale> returnlist()     {         return carbootsales;     }      public string display()     {         string msg = "";          foreach (carbootsale cbs in carbootsales)         {             msg += string.format("{0}  {1}", cbs.id, cbs.location, cbs.date);             msg += environment.newline;         }         return msg;     } 

your carbootsalelist class not list. class contain list.

you have 3 options:

make carbootsalelist object implement ienumerable

or

make carbootsalelist inherit list<carbootsale>

or

if lazy same thing without coding

list<list<carbootsale>>
