How to make an SPList support minor versioning in Sharepoint?

Question

I have a list to which I am trying to write files with different versions. But whenever it hits list.EnableMinorVersions = true; it throws the error message - This list does not support minor versioning. How do i fix it? If possible, I'd like to do it within the code itself.

Hi @Puneeth, C ,

According to my research and testing, the minor versions works only for lists based on SharePoint Document Library. It not work for SharePoint list because SharePoint list does not support minor versioning.
