How to iterate and display an Int Array list in a textBox? this has to be easy...

[tvance929]

Ok guys,

I feel foolish here, but I have made a couple random hands of cards and wanted to see the full contents of those cards in a couple of textboxes.

But I suddenly realized that I am not sure how to do this?

If I loop through the twenty cards it will only show me the last one.

I need to concatenante it in an easy fashion. I KNOW that I could go simply do this:

string shuffledCards = myCards.arraylist[1].ToString() + myCards.arraylist[2].ToString() and on and on and on... and then place that string in a textBox....

BUT that cannot be the only way or even a good way to do it -- especially since I have 20 cards in each deck....can someone help me here?

Have you considered using a loop to concatenate the array text into a string?

string shuffledCards = "";
for(int i = 0; i < arraylist.Length; i++)
{
shuffledCards += shuffledCards + myCards.arraylist[i].ToString();
}
txtHands.Text = shuffledCards;

You may need to add spacing between each listed card in your textbox. I am not sure how you are wanting to display these to the user.

Awesome!

That almost worked perfectly!

I did have to change it a little (maybe this is just a c# thing) --- but I had to removed the shuffledCards out of your statement, because it added the same numbers over and over again.
you had :
shuffledCards += shuffledCards + fullDeck[i].ToString() + "\r\n";

had to make it:
shuffledCards += " " + fullDeck[i].ToString() + "\r\n";

BUT still, you really helped me and thanks a ton!
