How to create an array of objects?

[Aghosh Babu]

i am developing an sms gateway application. I have a configuration text file which i have to read from the application and configure the connected modems according to it. After configuring the modems i have to save the configured modem as an object to an array/arraylist. So next time whenver i want the modem to do something i call the object from the array.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Collections;
using System.Text;
using System.IO;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.IO.Ports;
using System.Threading;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;

namespace SMSTest
{
class SMSModem
{

    public ArrayList PortNameContainer = new ArrayList();
    public ArrayList BaudRateContainer = new ArrayList();
    public ArrayList DataBitContainer = new ArrayList();
    public ArrayList PhoneNumberContainer = new ArrayList();
    public ArrayList SMSCetreNoContainer = new ArrayList();

    SerialPort serialPort1 = new SerialPort();
    private string config\_file = "C:/config.txt";
   // public string PhoneNumber;
    private string ServiceCentreNo;
    public int NumberOfLines = 0;


    public bool ModemConfig()
    {
        try
        {
            string line;
            TextReader tr = new StreamReader(config\_file);
            System.IO.StreamReader objReader;
            objReader = new System.IO.StreamReader(config\_file);


            while ((line = tr.ReadLine()) != null)
            {
                NumberOfLines++;
            }


            string\[\] ListLines = new string\[NumberOfLines\];

            for (int i = 0; i < NumberOfLines; i++)
            {
                ListLines\[i\] = objReader.ReadLine();
                string\[\] values = ListLines\[i\].Split(new char\[\] { '$', '#' });
                string\[\] PortSplit = values\[0\].Split(new char\[\] { ':', '#' });
                string PortName = PortSplit\[1\];

                //\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*Reading Baud Rate\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*
                string\[\] BaudSplit = values\[1\].Split(new char\[\] { ':', '#' });
                int BaudRate = Convert.ToInt32(BaudSplit\[1\]);

                //\*\*\*\*\*\*READING DATA BITS\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*
                string\[\] BitsSplit = values\[2\].Split(new char\[\] { ':', '#' });
                int DataBits = Convert.ToInt32(BitsSplit\[1\]);

                //\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*REA

Your post is broken and hard to read. Please edit it and make it readable.

Create a class, say Modem with all required properties and put it in a List<Modem> other than arraylist.

+5 for the attempt to read. WTF you going to audit 300 lines of someone else's code???

object[] objArray = {new object(),new object()};

You access it with an indexer. Like

object obj1 = objArray[0]

. These all are basics and looks like you need a C# book. :)

Then you've learnt nothing, choose another career path.

thanks for the advice! unfortunately i havn't born as a programmer ;P

[wasimsharp]

<pre> i am developing an sms gateway application</pre> If ur not programmer then how you develop that gateway. :sigh: But Here is the Solution

ArrayList arrObj = new ArrayList();
arrObj.Add(YourObject);

foreach(object o in arrObj)
{
if(o is YourObjectClass)
{
//Use this object
}
}

If I handed in my University project that composed (mainly) of an array of generic objects I don't think I would have passed.
