    {
        Name = name;

    }
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public List<string> Data { get; set; }
    public static MyData operator │+(MyData d1, MyData d2);
}

Fix:

    }
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public List<string> Data { get; set; }
    public static MyData operator +(MyData d1, MyData d2)
    {
        string newName = String.Format("{0}&{1}", d1.Name, d2.Name);
        List<string> newData = d1.Data;
        newData.AddRange(d2.Data);
        return new MyData(newName, newData);
    }
