## Notes

- This is a generic activity; the element type `T` is determined at design time.
- An `ArgumentOutOfRangeException` is thrown if `Index` is negative or greater than or equal to the list's count.
- Lists are zero-indexed: the first element is at index `0`.
- Compatible with any `IList<T>` implementation, including `List<T>` and arrays.
