I've been working on an app to manage my iTunes collection, and have run into a bit of a snag. I've created two classes:
Column – Describes a column of information in the iTunes database
Track – Contains an array of Columns
When I instantiate a new Track object and attempt to build the array of Columns, each "new Column" statement overwrites the value of the previous array element.
I'm sure I'm missing something obvious – any ideas? (complete code is attached)
// this statement...
Track t = new Track();
// produces this output:
// array element 0 = Name
// array element 0 = Artist
// array element 1 = Artist
-
public class Column
-
private static string _name;
-
private static string _datatype = "string";
-
private static Int16 _length = 0;
-
public Column(string name, string datatype, Int16 length)
-
{
-
_name = name;
-
_datatype = datatype;
-
if (datatype == "string" && length > 0)
-
{_length = length; }
-
else
-
{_length = 0;}
-
}
-
-
// Begin Track class
-
public class Track
-
private static Column[] _trackcolumns = new Column[2];
-
public static Column[] TrackColumns
-
{
-
get {return _trackcolumns;}
-
set { _trackcolumns = value; }
-
}
-
public Track()
-
{
-
_trackcolumns[0] = new Column("Name", "string", 30);
-
Console.WriteLine("array element 0 = {0}",_trackcolumns[0].Name);
-
_trackcolumns[1] = new Column("Artist", "string", 30);
-
Console.WriteLine("array element 0 = {0}", _trackcolumns[0].Name);
-
Console.WriteLine("array element 1 = {0}", _trackcolumns[1].Name);
-
}
