I need to create 150 variable names....need an efficient way of doing it

[Lost User]

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

[Lost User]

?? use array varName[0]...varName[149]

What if its an array of objects? class[] object = new class();?

Nothing, no problem :-)

[Sundeepan Sen]

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.

[monstale]

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

I am trying to return an array...but I cant do return objectArray; the compiler error: Error 1 Cannot implicitly convert type 'Interactive.Geo.WellLog.Track.cgStackedTrack[]' to 'Interactive.Geo.WellLog.Track.cgStackedTrack' C:\Program Files\INT\Net\3.0.3693.0\Tutorials\WellLog.NET\StackedTrackTutorial\StackedTrackTutorial.cs 177 20 StackedTrackTutorial

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?

[Sundeepan Sen]

Hey thanks! I think I fixed it. Sorry for the stupid question...

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?

Online only for only an hour a day. Please expect delay in response.

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.
