Cannot implicitly convert type 'int' to 'System.Collections.Generic.List<int>'

You can't tell System.Collections.Generic.List, a collection as a whole, that it is going to be an int. You have to be in a loop loading the collection.

If you had loaded a System.Collections.Generic.ListList<int>, then you can load another System.Collections.Generic.ListList<int> in the manner you are doing.

System.Collections.Generic.List<int> = System.Collections.Generic.List<int>

You don't convert it..

namespace ConsoleCS
{
    using System;
    using System.Collections.Generic;
    using System.Linq;

    
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            int i = 1;
            List<int> myIntList1 = new List<int>();
            myIntList1.Add(i);
            foreach (int value in myIntList1)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(value);
            }

            List<int> myIntList2 = Enumerable.Range(1,1).Select(x => i).ToList();
            foreach (int value in myIntList2)
            { 
                Console.WriteLine(value);
            }

            Console.WriteLine("Done.");
            Console.ReadLine();
        }
    }
}
