namespace Program1
{
    class Employee
    {
        public string Empname = "";
        public int EMPID = 0;
        //public void print()
        //{
        //    Console.WriteLine("\n Employee Id is " + EMPID);
        //    Console.WriteLine("\n Employee Name is " + Empname);
        //}
        //Declare Employee ID
        public int EmployeeID
        {
            get;
            set;
        }
        //Declare Employee Name
        public string EmployeeName
        {
            get;
            set;
        }
        //public override string ToString()
        //{

        //    for (int i = 0; i < 24; i++) //just user the static array length
        //    {
        //        EMPID[i].Number = Console.ReadLine();
        //        Empname[i].Name = Console.ReadLine();
        //    }
        //    return "EmployeeID =" + EMPID + " , EmployeeName = " + Empname;
        //}
        // foreach (var item in newlist.OrderBy(Employee => Employee.empid)) Console.WriteLine(Employee);
    }
    class Program
    {
        public static void Main()
        {
           // Employee e = new Employee();// create object with employee 
           // //e.EmployeeID = 501;
           // //e.EmployeeName = "Anusha";
           // //Console.WriteLine(" Employee Data:{0}", e.EmployeeID);
           // //Console.WriteLine(" Employee Data:{0}", e.EmployeeName);
           // //Console.ReadLine();
           //for (int i = 0; i<2; i++)
           // {
            //    Console.WriteLine("Enter Employee ID", e.EmployeeID);
            //    Console.ReadLine();
            //    Console.WriteLine("Enter Employee name", e.EmployeeName);
            //    Console.ReadLine();
            //    string line = Console.ReadLine();
            //    if (line == "exit")
            //    {
            //        break;
            //    }
            //}
           //Console.WriteLine("Employee ID :" + e.EMPID + '\t' + "Employee Name :" + e.Empname);
           //Console.ReadLine();         
            Console.WriteLine(" Enter Employee ID");
            var EmpID = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());
            var employee1 = new Employee
            {
                EmployeeID= EmpID;
            }
        }
    }

        //public class Book
        //{
        //    public string BookName { get; set; } = string.Empty;
        //    public string Author { get; set; } = string.Empty;

Can you update the question with explanation as to what you are trying to do? It is not quite clear.

It doesn't look like you intend to use a database, so all of the information you enter will only be available until you close the application.

Your program also only has the ability to ask for one employee ID, so there is no use displaying a list of one employee.

What exactly do you want your program to do?

I am entering employee details in console.. so i want to read data what i have entered in console and want to prepare a list and dipslay all the details again

Example: my o/p in console
Enter employee id :501

Employee ids:501,502,503..
empoyee names:xxxx

What kind of list? You're in console app, you just write out strings formatted as you need them to be.

Also, it may be useful if you describe what you're trying to do with your app in general, not just this particular task.

Your problem is here:

C#

public static void Main()
    {
    Employee e = new Employee();// create object with employee 
    for (int i = 0; i<2; i++)
        {
        Console.WriteLine("Enter Employee ID", e.EmployeeID);
        Console.ReadLine();
        Console.WriteLine("Enter Employee name", e.EmployeeName);
        Console.ReadLine();
        string line = Console.ReadLine();
        if (line == "exit")
            {
            break;
            }
        }
    Console.WriteLine("Employee ID :" + e.EMPID + '\t' + "Employee Name :" + e.Empname);
    Console.ReadLine(); 
    }

You only ever create one instance of an Employee - so inside your loop all you could do (if your code did anything, and it won't even compile at the moment, much less do anything useful) - is overwrite the content you already have.

It won't compile because your EMployee class includes code that isn't inside a method:

C#

class Employee
    {
    public string Empname = "";
    public int EMPID = 0;
    public int EmployeeID
        {
        get;
        set;
        }
    public string EmployeeName
        {
        get;
        set;
        }
    Console.WriteLine(Employee);  <<<---- This line isn't in a method
    }

But you really need to go back to basics and start again...

C#

class Employee
    {
    public int EmployeeID { get; set; }
    public string EmployeeName { get; set; }
    }

Will do for your Employee class.
Now, to use it:

C#

public static void Main()
    {
    List<Employee> employees = new List<Employee>();
    for (int i = 0; i<2; i++)
        {
        Employee employee = new Employee();
        Console.WriteLine("Enter Employee name", e.EmployeeName);
        string line = Console.ReadLine();
        if (line == "exit")
            {
            break;
            }
        ... Fill in Employee details here
        employees.Add(employee);
        }
    foreach (Employee employee in employees)
        {
        ... print Employee details here
        }
    Console.ReadLine(); 
    }

You need to create a list, and add the created Employee objects to that list during each loop. Then at the end you can work with the list you created.

C#

public static void Main()
{
	List<Employee> employees = new List<Employee>();
	for (int i = 0; i<2; i++)
	{
		Employee e = new Employee();// create object with employee
		Console.WriteLine("Enter Employee ID:");
		e.EmployeeID = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());
		Console.WriteLine("Enter Employee name:");
		e.EmployeeName = Console.ReadLine();
		employees.Add(e);
		string line = Console.ReadLine();
		if (line == "exit")
		{
			break;
		}
	}
	foreach (Employee employee in employees)
	{
		Console.WriteLine("Employee ID :" + employee.EmployeeID + '\t' + "Employee Name :" + employee.EmployeeName);
		Console.ReadLine();
	}
}
