Append a Lists Contents to another List C#

I have the following:

  1. A main List called GlobalStrings
  2. Another List called localStrings

In a loop for example:

List<string> GlobalStrings = new List<string>(); 
List<string> localStrings = new List<string>();
for(x=1;x<10;x++)
{
    localStrings.Add("some value"); 
    localStrings.Add("some value");
}
// Want to append localStrings to GlobalStrings as easily as possible

GlobalStrings.AddRange(localStrings);

That works.

GlobalStrings.AddRange(localStrings);

Note: You cannot declare the list object using the interface (IList).

Here is my example:

    private List<int> m_machinePorts = new List<int>();

    public List<int> machinePorts
    {
        get { return m_machinePorts; }
    }

    Init()
    {
        // Custom function to get available ethernet ports
        List<int> localEnetPorts = _Globals.GetAvailableEthernetPorts();

        // Custome function to get available serial ports
        List<int> localPorts = _Globals.GetAvailableSerialPorts();

        // Build Available port list 
        m_machinePorts.AddRange(localEnetPorts);
        m_machinePorts.AddRange(localPorts);
     }

if you want to get "terse" :)

List<string>GlobalStrings = new List<string>(); 

for(int x=1; x<10; x++) GlobalStrings.AddRange(new List<string> { "some value", "another value"});
