Can i Box values in arrays

[Matt]

Is there a way to put my class vals to arrays !

RecordSet Track1 = new RecordSet("It aint fear",1);
RecordSet Track2 = new RecordSet("Gott a go",2);
RecordSet Track3 = new RecordSet("My life",3);
RecordSet Track4 = new RecordSet("Amaz ing",4);

Data d = new Data();

d.RecordAdd(Tra ck1);
d.RecordAdd(Tra ck2);
d.RecordAdd(Tra ck3);
d.RecordAdd(Tra ck4);

//Here i like put these on array so i can pass it as array is this do
able?
can i do boxing here to put Tracks on array ?
string [] strRecords = new String[5];
strRecords[0] = Track1;
string x = (string)strReco rds[0];

d.GetRec2(strRe cords);

That's not boxing - that's converting records to strings. You could do
that if you defined conversion operators in RecordSet to and from
string, but I wouldn't recommend it. Why do the conversion to strings?
Why not just declare an array of RecordSets?

i thought i had to convert.
That would work for me but evertime i did it i got error
How can i put these tracs on array so i can pass it to my method below.

string [] strRecords = new String[5];
strRecords[0] = Track1; // this did not work.
public void GetRec2(string[] Records)
{
foreach (string str in Records)
{
Console.WriteLi ne("Records: " + str);
}
}

No, you can create an array of any type.

strRecords[0] = Track1; // this did not work.

No, it wouldn't, because Track1 isn't a string. Do:

RecordSet[] records = new RecordSet[5];
records[0] = Track1;

Then change the parameter for GetRec2 to be a RecordSet[].

This is what i have but i dont get the values ? what am i doing wrong
public void GetRec2(RecordS et[] Recs)
{
foreach (RecordSet Rec in Recs)
{
Console.WriteLi ne("Records: " + Rec);
}
}

RecordSet[] records = new RecordSet[5];
records[0] = Track1;
records[1] = Track1;

d.GetRec2(recor ds);

[Matt]

Console.WriteLi ne(records[1]);
values is Recordset. Its not filling the array.

RecordSet Track1 = new RecordSet("Its raining",1);
RecordSet Track2 = new RecordSet("Amaz ing in the wild",2);
RecordSet Track3 = new RecordSet("Amaz ing in the milg",3);
RecordSet Track4 = new RecordSet("Amaz ing in the Sour",4);
RecordSet Track5 = new RecordSet("Amaz ing in the Hot",5);

Data d = new Data();
d.RecordAdd(Tra ck1);
d.RecordAdd(Tra ck2);
d.RecordAdd(Tra ck3);
d.RecordAdd(Tra ck4);
d.RecordAdd(Tra ck5);

RecordSet[] records = new RecordSet[5];
records[0] = Track1;
records[1] = Track1;

d.GetRec2(recor ds);

Console.WriteLi ne(records[1]);

That is definitely passing the values.

Could you post a short but complete program which demonstrates the
problem?

See http://www.pobox.com/~skeet/csharp/complete.html for details of
what I mean by that.

Here it goes Jon

using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Collecti ons;
class RecordSet

private string Item;
private int val;
public RecordSet(strin g item,int ival)
{
Item = item;

}
public string GetRecord
{
get{return Item;}
set{Item = value;}
}
}
class Data
{
ArrayList List = new ArrayList();
public void RecordAdd(Recor dSet r)
{
List.Add(r);
}
public void GetRec2(RecordS et[] Recs)
{
foreach (RecordSet Rec in Recs)
{
Console.WriteLi ne("Records: " + Rec);
}
}
public static void Main(string[] args)
{
RecordSet Track1 = new RecordSet("Its raining",1);
RecordSet Track2 = new RecordSet("Amaz ing in the wild",2);
RecordSet Track3 = new RecordSet("Amaz ing in the milg",3);

Data d = new Data();

d.RecordAdd(Tra ck1);
d.RecordAdd(Tra ck2);
d.RecordAdd(Tra ck3);

RecordSet[] records = new RecordSet[5];
records[0] = Track1;
records[1] = Track1;
d.GetRec2(recor ds);
}
}
