    I need to create 150 variable names. They must be like "varName01" , "varName01" all the way to 150. How do I do this using a for or while loop? thanks! Sundeep

    There is never a technical need for this sort of thing. Consider using a Hash Table or an Array or a Stack or a Queue or another more appropriate data structure.

      What are you doing with them anyway? Magic with Reflection.Emit?

              heh, cool..so now i'm stuck at how to return all the elements of an array at the end of a method I cant do

              for(int i = 0; i < 20; i++)
              {
              return arrayOfObjects[i];
              }

              I will have unreachable code.

                return will jump out of the method. ;-) What are you trying to do?

                    Check definition of method - should return cgStackedTrack[] if you want to do this ;-)

                      Well obviously if you first say you're going return something of type T and then decide to return a T[] instead, that wouldn't work. Can you change the method signature, or is it fixed in some way?

                          Soooooo how did you think you were going to return the values of 150 different variables??

                            Do you really have a valid need to do this?

                              Well...yes..but I at the end I figured out that I did not need to create 150 variable names. An array worked fine. Sorry for the newbie question, I am a newbie and basically I've learned not to be afraid of asking "newbie" or stupid questions. That's the way I learn.... once again I apologize f :) r my idiocy.
