First.Value of LinkedList is null but linked list is not empty

I am programming a console game but I get an error on trying to use LinkedList.First.Value as it returns null. However, the list is not empty as I set so that the first entry is 55.

 LinkedList<int> Pos = new LinkedList<int>();

Main :

var p = new Program();
        p.Pos.AddFirst(55);
        Timer myTimer = new Timer();
        myTimer.Elapsed += new ElapsedEventHandler(Move);
        myTimer.Interval = 1000;
        myTimer.Start();
        

Error Causing code (Move):

p.Pos.AddFirst(p.Pos.First.Value + p.dir);

System.NullReferenceException: ‘Object reference not set to an
instance of an object.’

System.Collections.Generic.LinkedList.First.get returned null.

>Solution :

var p = new Program(); in the Move event handler will create a new instance of your Program class which is not related to the instance you created before. Its Pos list will be empty.

You could make the Move method an instance methof (remove the static) and change the event subscription to myTimer.Elapsed += new ElapsedEventHandler(p.Move);

Within the Move method you can then directly use Pos.
