Error in convert inventory from JS to C# - Unity - arrays

Question

Hello :) I'm converting now Inventory system but i'm stuck on List / Arrays (JS).
Here's my script:
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;

[RequireComponent(typeof (Inventory))]

//public string[] ArmorSlotName;
public List<string> ArmorSlotName; //This determines how many slots the character has (Head, Legs, Weapon and so on) and the text on each slot.
//public Rect[] buttonPositions;
public List<Rect> buttonPositions; //This list will contain where all buttons, equipped or not will be and SHOULD HAVE THE SAME NUMBER OF cells as the ArmorSlot array.

And I have this error:
Assets/Inventory/Scripts/Character.cs(62,17): error CS0029: Cannot implicitly convert type Item[]' toSystem.Collections.Generic.List'
this lane:
ArmorSlot = new Item[ArmorSlotName.Count];
in JS version there were arrays but in c# i convert it to Lists and i have couple of errors ;D Can someone help me with this ? ;/

Error happens over here.
ArmorSlot = new Item[ArmorSlotName.Count];
What is ArmorSlot?
Private List<Item> ArmorSlot; //This is the built in Array that stores the Items equipped. You can change this to static if you want to access it from another script.
you don't make List like normal array.
You don't want List you want Item array.
Fix is like this
private Item[] ArmorSlot;
But maybe you want List because list is easier to control then a native C# array if you wan't to use List you must do something like this
ArmorSlot = new ArrayList<Item>(ArmorSlotName.Count);
But maybe you don't need to put in ArmorSlotName.Count because List is the size of how much items you put inside it.. it gives default size and keeps increasing.
So it's better to just do this
ArmorSlot = new ArrayList<Item>();
