Display List into Console

I trying to display a List into Console

My List code:

var order = new List<Orders>();
order.Add(new Orders { Date = "" + orders[0].date_created, Name = ""+ orders[0].billing.first_name , Adress = ""+ orders[0].shipping.address_1 + "                     " + orders[0].shipping.address_2 });
order.Add(new Orders { Date = "" + orders[1].date_created, Name = "" + orders[1].billing.first_name, Adress = "" + orders[1].shipping.address_1 + "                     " + orders[1].shipping.address_2 });
order.Add(new Orders { Date = "" + orders[2].date_created, Name = "" + orders[2].billing.first_name, Adress = "" + orders[2].shipping.address_1 + "                     " + orders[2].shipping.address_2 });
order.Add(new Orders { Date = "" + orders[3].date_created, Name = "" + orders[3].billing.first_name, Adress = "" + orders[3].shipping.address_1 + "                     " + orders[3].shipping.address_2 });
order.Add(new Orders { Date = "" + orders[4].date_created, Name = "" + orders[4].billing.first_name, Adress = "" + orders[4].shipping.address_1 + "                     " + orders[4].shipping.address_2 });

return order;

I have tried to display it like this:

Debug.WriteLine(order.ToString());

and like this: 

order.ForEach(i => Debug.WriteLine(i.ToString()));

But gives the warning:

Unreachable code

How I can display the list?

Try this one:

foreach (var item in order)
{
    Debug.WriteLine(item.ToString());
}

Or if you have mulitple properties as mentioned above, you can try like this:

foreach (var item in order)
{
    Debug.WriteLine("Date : {0}, Name : {1}, Adress : {2}",item.Date.ToString(), item.Name.ToString(), item.Adress.ToString());
}

Using Linq, as in your second try is close to the actual printing, you just need to format the string properly instead of simply call ToString method:

order.ForEach(o => Debug.WriteLine("Date: " + o.Date + " Adress: " + o.Adress + "Name: " + o.Name));

And I know it is not the point of the question, but I suggest you to use a ForEach instruction to populate the list too, as it will add more flexibility to your code.
