title: Getting a ref/address from a list in C#
body: <p>I am aware that C# does not deal with pointers but I wonder if I can get a ref to a list when I know its first element?
  For example:
  Let's say I have a list defined as </p>
  
  <pre><code>List&lt;T&gt; abc  
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>If I have abc[0], can I get a reference of abc?
  I am new to C#, I apologize if my question seems weird. In C/C++, I can get the address of an array abc by using &amp;abc[0]. Does C# provide us with similar tool that help us refer back to the collection itself when we know one item in the collection?
  Thanks,</p>
