storing info into array

[zeejay]

Hi, i am having trouble retrieving information from checkbox(from previous page) and storing it into this array as i do not wish to hard code the size of the array. can anyone help?

{
            String[] item = new String[0];
 
            item = Request.Form.GetValues("cbBrand");
            Label1.Text = item[0];
        }

String[] item = new String[0]; 

You are allocating an array of 0 elements.

Maybe you need at least one String:

String[] item = new String;

or

String[] item = new String[1];

Are you by chance thinking of an array of String?

In this case you use a vector:

vector<String> v;

Now you can add String objects until the cows come home.

vector<> implements an array. Check it out.

i have this page call "checkboxpage.aspx" checkboxpage is where i get the checkbox values from.. so on "callingpage.aspx.cs"
i m trying to call the values from the checkbox in "checkboxpage.aspx" using

Request.Form.GetValues("cbBrand");

and then store that value into an array.

If you use a vector your code would be:

vector<String> v;
 
v.push_back(Request.Form.GetValues("cbBrand")); 

vector implements an array. In this case v is an array of String.

You might find this works for you.

Are you writing this in C/C++ or C#? Your file name extension ".cs" would seem to indicate you intended this to be posted in the C# forum.

IF you are writing this in C#, then you probably need to use a collection of some kind (like List). It will give you all the same functionality of an array plus the convenience of not needing to know the size before hand.
