C# Array Problem

[m007s]

All:

I'm trying to access a simple array like I always do, and running into a problem. I thought it was a simple typo, but experiencing a problem. To debug, I established the a simple array and tested.

//Debug
string [] s;

s = new string [7];
s[0] = "TEST";

When moving from the second to last line the watch goes from a value of 'null' (as expected) to 'Does not exist' ????

(image insert does not appear to be working) - Debugger reads:

Name Value
========= =======================
s[0].ToString() error: 's[0].ToString' does not exist





any help appreciated.

Thanks.

I hope ,its not possible to intialize value to string array after declaration.
Instead,you can try Arraylist.
eg:
Arraylistobj.Add("TEST");

Do not use ArrayList!!

In .NET 2.0 ArrayList has been replaced by List<>. It is much much faster because you can specify which type the object in the list are, so boxing-unboxing operations are not necessary.

example:
List<string> myStringList = new List<string>();

myStringList.Add("aaa");
myStringList.Add("bbb");

you can also easily remove items, sort the List, etc. And you have direct access to the methods of the string class with no explicit conversion required since it's already strong-typed.


ex:

string s = myStringList[0].ToUpper();
