Are you sure it is new List();?
Could it be new List<YourListElementType>();?
If so, what type is YourListElementType?

You can use List.Max() function to get the max value. I your case

C#

var maxValue = buffer1.Max();

Essentially you store the first value in a variable. Then loop through and compare. If it is larger then store that value. By the time you are done going through the whole list you'll have the largest value.

C#

Int32 largestVal = buffer1[0];
foreach (Int32 temp in buffer1)
{
   if (temp > largestVal)
     largestVal = temp;
}
