I'm having trouble the string.Format() throwing exceptions and I can't figure
out what I am doing wrong.
Given the following setup code:
string[] str = { "one", "two", "three", "four" };
double[] val = { 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 };
string fmt = "{0} {1} {2} {3}";
The following variations of string.Format() will work just fine with strings:
string s1 = String.Format(f mt, str[0], str[1], str[2], str[3]); // works
string s2 = String.Format(f mt, str); // also
works
And I can format a list of doubles like this:
string s3 = String.Format(f mt, val[0], val[1], val[2], val[3]); // works
But when I pass an array of doubles as the object[] parameter I get an
exception:
string s4 = String.Format(f mt, val); // fails
Throws exception:
"Index (zero based) must be greater than or equal to zero and less than the
size of the argument list."
Why does the array version work with strings but not doubles? Please
enlighten me? Thanks much!

The problem is that string.Format takes a string and an array of object
references. An array of doubles isn't an array of object references, so
it assumes that it's just the first parameter in itself. In other
words, you're effectively calling:
string s1 = String.Format (fmt, (Object[]) str);
but
string s2 = String.Format (fmt, new Object[]{val});

Hi Bob,
Answer is simple. Try this code and u will see the answer easily.
double[] val = { 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 };
String fmt = "{0}";
Console.WriteLi ne(fmt,val);
Console.ReadKey ();
This will print "System.Dou ble[]"... This is way u get an index exception
Now try this;
object[] val = { 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 };
String fmt = "{0} {1} {2} {3}";
Console.WriteLi ne(fmt,val);
Console.ReadKey ();
This will print "1 2 3 4".
Try this;
decimal[] val = { 1.0M, 2.0M, 3.0M, 4.0M };
String fmt = "{0} {1} {2} {3}";
Console.WriteLi ne(fmt,val);
Console.ReadKey ();
float[] val = { 1.0F, 2.0F, 3.0F, 4.0F };
String fmt = "{0} {1} {2} {3}";
Console.WriteLi ne(fmt,val);
Console.ReadKey ();
....
Try this for all numeric data types u will get same result it caused by the
implementation of the numeric arrays. I think this is why we call them as
value types.
Obect[] example is a simple implementation of boxing....

Hello, all! I have question about String.Format method.
There are two variants: public static string Format(string, params
object); and public static string Format(IFormatProvider, string, params
object);
What happens if i will use String.Format("{0} and {1}", "one", "two")
instead of String.Format(System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CurrentCulture,
"{0} and {1}", "one", "two")?

Hi,
When you execute this line of code
string script = string.Format("foreach (GroupDoc gdoc in

You get
