Length of string in array

[Michael C]

I have an array of strings

string[] strArray = new string[10];

strArray[5] = "ABC";

How can I determine the number of characters in the array item?

if (strArray[5].length = = 3)
{
}

This is acually returning 10 which is the array length

I want the array item string.length

Thanks

Michael

That is correct though...

Console.WriteLine(strArray[5].Length);

That should return 3.

Maybe you called strArray.Length without an indexer?

Maybe try something like (strArray[5]).Length.

This should make no difference, does it :)

You are right that it should not, but since the problem was that Length was
being applied to the array rather then the array element, this was all that
I could think of. There is nothing like being explicit when troubleshooting
code.

I think the problem is that we weren't seeing the actual code. The code
posted certainly wouldn't compile (due to the space in the comparison)
so I suspect it wasn't the real code.
