Reseting A List<>

How would I go about doing this?
Would I have to go through each item removing it?
Is there a .Reset() sort of sub-function?
Or can I just do something this easy...

  1. List<string> sMyList = new List<string>();
... and would that be be fine?

The MSDN would have told you this. It is always the first, best place to look when learning new controls. I recommend a Google technique of searching for "MSDN {control}" such as "MSDN List<>". The first result is nearly always the exact page you need.

In this case you would have seen there is a .Clear() method.

Unfortunally to my own image, I did look and didn't see the Clear() at the time... But thanks though!
