How to initialize a field that accepts an IEnumerable

I have a property public IEnumerable<T> PieceMovement { get; set; }

what object should I use to initialize this property. I'm thinking that the simpliest .net implementation of IEnumerable will do but what would that object be and is this the right idea?

This question is not strictly related to IEnumerable but to good OOP design practices in general.

Since you are exposing PieceMovement as an IEnumerable every object which implements IEnumerable is a good candidate.

You should never make assoumptions of the actual type so your idea is good to me. I also usually use List

You should use a List<T> or a ReadOnlyCollection<T>.

If you're initializing it based on an existing sequence, you could set it to a LINQ query.
