How can I find the last element in a List<>?

The following is an extract from my code:

public class AllIntegerIDs 
{
    public AllIntegerIDs() 
    {            
        m_MessageID = 0;
        m_MessageType = 0;
        m_ClassID = 0;
        m_CategoryID = 0;
        m_MessageText = null;
    }
    
    ~AllIntegerIDs()
    {
    }

    public void SetIntegerValues (int messageID, int messagetype,
        int classID, int categoryID)
    {
        this.m_MessageID = messageID;
        this.m_MessageType = messagetype;
        this.m_ClassID = classID;
        this.m_CategoryID = categoryID;
    }
    
    public string m_MessageText;
    public int m_MessageID;
    public int m_MessageType;
    public int m_ClassID;
    public int m_CategoryID;
}

I am trying to use the following in my main() function code:

List<AllIntegerIDs> integerList = new List<AllIntegerIDs>();

/* some code here that is ised for following assignments*/
{
   integerList.Add(new AllIntegerIDs());
   index++;
   integerList[index].m_MessageID = (int)IntegerIDsSubstring[IntOffset];
   integerList[index].m_MessageType = (int)IntegerIDsSubstring[IntOffset + 1];
   integerList[index].m_ClassID = (int)IntegerIDsSubstring[IntOffset + 2];
   integerList[index].m_CategoryID = (int)IntegerIDsSubstring[IntOffset + 3];
   integerList[index].m_MessageText = MessageTextSubstring;
}

Problem is here: I am trying to print all elements in my List using a for loop:

for (int cnt3 = 0 ; cnt3 <= integerList.FindLastIndex ; cnt3++) //<----PROBLEM HERE
{
   Console.WriteLine("{0}\t{1}\t{2}\t{3}\t{4}\n", integerList[cnt3].m_MessageID,integerList[cnt3].m_MessageType,integerList[cnt3].m_ClassID,integerList[cnt3].m_CategoryID, integerList[cnt3].m_MessageText);
}

I want to find the last element so that I equate cnt3 in my for loop and print out all entries in the List. Each element in the list is an object of the

Why not just use the Count property on the List?

for(int cnt3 = 0; cnt3 < integerList.Count; cnt3++)
