Multi-dimensional Arrays... Not working...

[Samishii23]

I've tried every combination from the MSDN reference on Multi-Dimensional arrays. They say it works, it doesn't on my MS VS '08... This is the last attempt that I made 4 minutes ago.

Help!

string[,] TDisc = new string[][] {
     new string[] { "Disc Col 1 Row 1", "Disc Col 1 Row 2" },
     new string[] { "Disc Col 2 Row 1", "Disc Col 2 Row 2", "Disc Col 2 Row 3" },
     new string[] { "Disc Col 3 Row 1", "Disc Col 3 Row 2", "Disc Col 3 Row 3", "Disc Col 3 Row 4", "Disc Col 3 Row 5" }
};

You're so close :D

Your variable type needs to match what you put into it. In your case, you're trying to put an object of type string[][] into a variable of type [,], which is two different things.

For your example, the simplest solution would be to change the variable to match the type of object you're putting into it; that is,

string[][] TDisc = new string[][] { ...

You can verify the contents of your multidimensional array via...

            foreach (string[] arr in TDisc)
            {
                foreach (string str in arr)
                {
                    Console.WriteLine(str);
                }
                Console.WriteLine();
            }

If you want to use a multidimensional array accessed via array[d1, d2, ..., dn] then you need to declare it in that fashion.

I'm not sure which page you were looking at, but it's pretty clearly explained at this MSDN page: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...8VS.71%29.aspx

Good luck!
