You are creating a list of string arrays and you are surprised that you are getting a list of string arrays? And yes you can have lists contain lists.... list<list<string>>

What Pheonyx means is probably

C#

List<List<string>> listOfList;

However, note that this list contains reference types again, so you have to instantiate every element on its own. For instance:

C#

var listOfList = new List<List<string>>();

//Lets add a list of strings to the list of list of strings
listOfList.Add(new List<string>());
//Lets add a string to the list of strings
listOfList[0].Add("Some string");

//Another round
listOfList.Add(new List<string>());
listOfList[1].Add("Another string");
listOfList[1].Add("Final string!");

//listOfList[0][0] == "Some string"
//listOfList[1][0] == "Another string"
//listOfList[1][1] == "Final string"!
