making Array of objects of a class

[Muhammad Aftab Alam]

Hello All
The question might be somewhat stupid but I have tried for an hour and could
not get through it.

I am creating a console based application just to begin with C#

following is the code
namespace Student1

{

class ABC

{

private

string strname;

public void GetData()

{

Console.WriteLine("Enter your Name");

strname = Console.ReadLine();

}

public void Print()

{

Console.WriteLine(strname);

}

};

class Class1

{

[STAThread]

static void Main(string[] args)

{
ABC[] arr = new ABC[6];

arr[0].GetData(); // This Line gives exception?

arr[0].Print();
}

}

}

according to me it should display a string to get data then print it but the
an exception occurs.System.NullRefrenceException

the Message is "Object reference not set to an instance of an object."

best regards

Aftab

All you have is array capable of holding ABC objects, not an array of
actual ABC objects.

You'll have to initialize the array manually.
