Assuming you mean summing together the values of the integers in the list, then you'd just declare an integer variable and increment it by the values of each element:

C#

List<int> numbers = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 };
int result = 0;

foreach (int number in numbers)
{
  result += number;
}

However you can achieve this even easier using the Sum() method:

C#

List<int> numbers = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 };
int result = numbers.Sum(number => number);
