I am trying to create a list of lists but am having trouble instantiating the list.
IList<IList<T>> allLists = List<List<T>>();
I am getting a compile error with this line.

You'll have to instantiate a List
of IList<T>
, not a List
of List<T>
.
The reason is that by implementing IList<IList<T>>
you are saying "Here is a list of some kind in which you can get or insert anything that implements IList<T>
". Only objects of type List<T>
can be inserted into List<List<T>>
, so it is not allowed.
IList<IList<T>> allLists = new List<IList<T>>();
