I have a collection of RSS items

protected Collection<Rss.Items> list = new Collection<Rss.Items>();

The class RSS.Items includes properties such as Link, Text, Description, etc.

But when I try to read the XML and set these properties:

for (int i = 0; i < dt.Rows.Count; i++)
{                   
    row = dt.Rows[i];            
    list[i].Link.Equals(row[0].ToString());
    list[i].Description.Equals(  row[1].ToString());
    list[i].Title.Equals( row[2].ToString());
    list[i].Date.Equals( Convert.ToDateTime(row[3]));
}

I get a null reference exception on the line

list[i].Link.Equals(row[0].ToString());

What am I doing wrong?
