scope of List<Queue> different?

[roady001]

I commented the following: Look at the 'THIS FAILS, WHY?' line at SetValue(), why does it fail? The error message is that the object is null (NullReferenceException), however the constructor is correct isn't it? I tested it with the someInteger variable, and everything is ok there...

Thanks for any reply!

public class MyClass
{
private List<Queue> listOfItems;
private int someInteger;

public MyClass()
{
List<Queue> listOfItems = new List<Queue>();
listOfItems.Add(new Queue()); // THIS WORKS
someInteger = 0; // THIS WORKS
}

public void SetValue()
{
someInteger = 1; // THIS WORKS
listOfItems.Add(new Queue()); // THIS FAILS, WHY?!?
}

}
