How does one populate a list in a class

I have a simple class that has some properties, one property is a list.

public IList<CounterReclaimCardModels> CounterReclaimCards { get; set; }
public long AggID { get; set; }
public string id { get; set; }

I instantiated the class and added some data to it, but I cant figure out how to add data to the list. below is how I instantiated the class

Below is how I am instantiating the list and trying to add to it

 CounterReclaim.CounterReclaimCards = new List<CounterReclaimCardModels>()
        {
            CounterReclaimID = 1,
            ReclaimType = "Rule22Pool",
            ReclaimDisposition = "None",

        };

When creating a list, you can load it up with starting values like so:

CounterReclaim.CounterReclaimCards = new List<CounterReclaimCardModels>
{
    new CounterReclaimCardModels()
    {
        CounterReclaimID = 1,
        ReclaimType = "Rule22Pool",
        ReclaimDisposition = "None"
    },
    new CounterReclaimCardModels()
    {
        CounterReclaimID = 2,
        ReclaimType = "AwesomeThing",
        ReclaimDisposition = "None"
    },
    variableForAnExistingCounterReclaimCardModels,
    //etc...
};

Or, you can just use the Add method:

CounterReclaim.CounterReclaimCards = new List<CounterReclaimCardModels>();
CounterReclaim.CounterReclaimCards.Add(new CounterReclaimCardModels()
    {
        CounterReclaimID = 1,
        ReclaimType = "Rule22Pool",
        ReclaimDisposition = "None"
    });

CounterReclaim.CounterReclaimCards.Add(new CounterReclaimCardModels()
    {
        CounterReclaimID = 2,
        ReclaimType = "AwesomeThing",
        ReclaimDisposition = "None"
    });

CounterReclaim.CounterReclaimCards.Add(variableForAnExistingCounterReclaimCardModels);

Also, you can initialize the list with a few values, then use Add to add more later.

You must create an instance of each item in list:

CounterReclaim.CounterReclaimCards = new List<CounterReclaimCardModels>()
{
    new CounterReclaimCardModels
    {
        CounterReclaimID = 1,
        ReclaimType = "Rule22Pool",
        ReclaimDisposition = "None"
    }
    // ...
};

Like so:

CounterReclaim.CounterReclaimCards = new List<CounterReclaimCardModels>()
{
    new CounterReclaimCardModels()
    {
        CounterReclaimID = 1,
        ReclaimType = "Rule22Pool",
        ReclaimDisposition = "None"
    }

};

This will put a single item of type CounterReclaimCardModels into a new list:

CounterReclaim.CounterReclaimCards = new List<CounterReclaimCardModels>
    {
        new CounterReclaimCardModels
        {
            CounterReclaimID = 1,
            ReclaimType = "Rule22Pool",
            ReclaimDisposition = "None",
        }
    };
