Hi,
I've got a property that returns byte[].
For example,
private byte[] bytes;
public byte[] ReturnsByteArra y
{
get
{
return bytes;
}
set
{
bytes = value;
}
}
It compiled well, however, FxCop 1.32 is suggesting that..
"Properties should not return Arrays".
When I replaced the property with two methods, for example
public byte[] GetBytes()
{
return bytes;
}
public void SetBytes(byte[] by)
{
bytes = by;
}
Then, FxCop is suggesting this..
"Use properties where appropriate" pointing at "SetBytes(. .)" method.
When I made my private byte[] bytes as public, then it is suggesting
not to expose variables, it suggests use of properties instead.
Kindly let me know how I can resolve this problem.
Cheers,
Naveen.

Nothing stops you from returning an array from a Property. In fact, you will
find code snippets in the MSDN Library that do so.

I was wondering why FxCop 1.32 is complaining when I did so.
Can I ignore those "breaking" warnings.

I guess it all comes down to efficiency. Take a look at this link: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/k2604h5s. What FxCop is complaining
about is that you are not following a guideline. If you keep it as it is, it
won't break anything, but it will most likely create unwanted copies of the
array depending upon its use.

Hi,
Thanks for the link. Its a good reference.
I've tried this..
private byte[] bytes;
public byte[] Bytes
{
set
{
bytes = value;
}
}
public byte[] GetBytes()
{
return bytes;
}
FxCop still complains point at the property, even though I'm trying to set
the
byte[].
Can you please suggest me what is the best way to set a byte[], is it using
a property or a method.
Kindly let me know.
Cheers,
Naveen.

Remember that an array is a reference type, so a user can still modify its
elements
without using your property, ie, when calling GetBytes(). If you must use a
property, you have to return a copy of the array so that you have control
over what gets written to it. Still, this is inefficient. Consider using a
method that returns an array or a public array member.

Hi,
The following code is from an article published in Informit.com at
http://www.informit.com/guides/content.asp?g=dotnet&seqNum=142. The problem
is the author says it is not a good idea to return an array as a property
because it will return a copy of the array instead a reference to it. How
can I force the property to return a reference to the array? Is it only a
feature of arrays? I hope normal class objects (including collections)...
