Multidimensional Arrays error in fill IList Interface
-
Because you only have one instance of the c lass and you insert it multiple times into the list. And each time round the loop you overwrite the values you set in the previous instance. Think of it like cars: You put your mobile phone in the glove box of my car. Then you open the glove box of your car - is your mobile in there? Of course not - they are different cars. What your loop is doing is parking my car in different spaces in the car park: and expecting each spot to be filled with a car at the end! Create a new instance each time round the loop.

Actually, his phone is also in his car ... he's creating multiple references to the same object ... which really means it's in neither car.

Thank you for the quick response. Can you explain with code
He did explain it. It's up to you to write the code. Griff is not going to write the code for you.
The difficult we do right away... ...the impossible takes slightly longer.

My first question is why are you using a DGV to store data or transfer data between models? That's not what it's for and results in slow, buggy code that can distort your data. The DGV should be used for the display of data in some data model. That avoids the entire block of code you're messing with now.

Dave KreskowiakThank you for your response. buz i load csv file in grid view after that i want to convert this data to multidimensional arrays

No need to - you already know how to create instances you even do it in that code fragment you originally showed us!

}I'm sorry i forget to attach the class i didn't understand your answer "Because you only have one instance of the class and you insert it multiple times into the list. And each time round the loop you overwrite the values you set in the previous instance." if i have 10 records in grid it means 10 instance to insert one invoice sorry i can't under stand your example about phone and car

That's a bad way to go. Controls should NEVER be used as your storage for data. Your CSV should be parsed to a data structure designed to hold that data. Fields can be setup to hold strings, integers, doubles, or whatever you need, and the CSV parser just places the values in the appropriate fields with no conversion. The DGV can then be used to display it if needed. Using the DGV as your storage makes accessing that data slow because you're now doing a bunch of converting to sting or other types that you wouldn't need to do otherwise. For example, this is garbage. You're converting a value in the DGV to a string and then parsing that string as an integer. This code will also fail if you've got no value in that cell.
invoiceline.quantity = int.Parse(datavalu[i, 5].ToString());
Putting the data directly into a datastructure designed to hold it from the CSV parser is a much better way to go as you get to validate the data before you use or even display it and handle that occurrence at a more appropriate time, when it's being loaded.

OK. You have a car. It's a red Ford. I have a car. It's a black Mercedes. We go for a drive in my car. What colour is it?

Dave KreskowiakYou're absolutely right but I'm trying code and my problem isn't with grid view but my problem is with how to fill invoicelines right i try another way to show invoicelines in listBox1 and run good
string[,] datavalu = new string[dataGridView1.Rows.Count, dataGridView1.Columns.Count];
foreach(DataGridViewRow row in dataGridView1.Rows) { foreach (DataGridViewColumn col in dataGridView1.Columns) { datavalu\[row.Index, col.Index\] = dataGridView1.Rows\[row.Index\].Cells\[col.Index\].Value.ToString(); } } int i = 0; foreach(string ss in datavalu) { listBox1.Items.Add(ss); i++; }rustle after that i change code to this but run wrong
for ( i = 0; i < datavalu.GetLength(0); i++)
{invoiceline2.description = datavalu\[i, 0\].ToString(); invoiceline2.itemType = datavalu\[i, 1\].ToString(); invoiceline2.itemCode = datavalu\[i, 2\].ToString(); invoiceline2.internalCode = datavalu\[i, 3\].ToString(); invoiceline2.unitType = datavalu\[i, 4\].ToString(); invoiceline2.quantity = int.Parse(datavalu\[i, 5\].ToString()); invoicelines.Add(invoiceline); }some thing i miss can you help me

Right. Obviously! So you understand that "car" is a generic word, but that each vehicle that is a "car" is separate and distinct. "My car" is not the same as "your car" - it shares some generic characteristics such as the number of wheels, and that it has an engine (or engines) but most of it's attributes are specific to a particular vehicle. In computing, we call "car" a
classand a specific vehicle aninstanceof that class, with the properties of an instance being defined by the class but "filled in" by the instance:class Car
{
Color Color {get; set;}
Manufacturer Manunfacturer {get; set;}
}
...
Car myCar = new Car() { Color = Colors.Black, Manufacturer = Manufacturers.Mercedes};
Car yourCar = new Car() { Color = Colors.Red, Manufacturer = Manufacturers.Ford};If you respray yourCar blue, it doesn't affect the colour of myCar - you know that! So if your code creates just one instance of an InvoiceLine, what happens if you set the properties over and over again?

thank for you help but i think it's hard create instance to each new line in invoice lines first i used this code to see result
string[,] datavalu = new string[dataGridView1.Rows.Count, dataGridView1.Columns.Count];
foreach(DataGridViewRow row in dataGridView1.Rows) { foreach (DataGridViewColumn col in dataGridView1.Columns) { datavalu\[row.Index, col.Index\] = dataGridView1.Rows\[row.Index\].Cells\[col.Index\].Value.ToString(); } } int i = 0; foreach(string ss in datavalu) { listBox1.Items.Add(ss); i++; }I think I thought wrong from the start. Often there are simpler ways Do you know a better way

Why? You do it pretty easily when you create the one you do use! So why do you think it is going to be harder to create them when you actually need them?

Hello everyone, my project get data from dataGridView after that convert rows to Multidimensional Arrays and i want to assign Multidimensional Arrays to IList Interface but the IList Interface fill last row in gridview every time my code
public IList invoiceLines { get; set; }
InvoiceLine invoiceline = new InvoiceLine();
string[,] datavalu = new string[dataGridView1.Rows.Count, dataGridView1.Columns.Count];foreach (DataGridViewRow row in dataGridView1.Rows) { foreach (DataGridViewColumn col in dataGridView1.Columns) { datavalu\[row.Index, col.Index\] = dataGridView1.Rows\[row.Index\].Cells\[col.Index\].Value.ToString(); } } int i ; for ( i = 0; i < datavalu.GetLength(0); i++) { invoiceline.description = datavalu\[i, 0\].ToString(); invoiceline.itemType = datavalu\[i, 1\].ToString(); invoiceline.itemCode = datavalu\[i, 2\].ToString(); invoiceline.internalCode = datavalu\[i, 3\].ToString(); invoiceline.unitType = datavalu\[i, 4\].ToString(); invoiceline.quantity = int.Parse(datavalu\[i, 5\].ToString()); invoicelines.Add(invoiceline); }my data
description itemType itemCode internalCode unitType quantity
Food EGS EG-538486562-1314 1314 EA 1
Food2 EGS EG-538486562-1315 1500 EA 5my problem is that invoicelines return 2 rows same data in last row in the grid
Food2 EGS EG-538486562-1315 1500 EA 5
Can anyone tell me why please Thanks in advance

thanks a lot
for ( i = 0; i < datavalu.GetLength(0); i++)
{
InvoiceLine invoiceline2 = new InvoiceLine();
invoiceline2.description = datavalu[i, 0].ToString();
invoiceline2.itemType = datavalu[i, 1].ToString();
invoiceline2.itemCode = datavalu[i, 2].ToString();

invoiceline2.unitType = datavalu[i, 4].ToString();
invoiceline2.quantity = int.Parse(datavalu[i, 5].ToString());invoicelines.Add(invoiceline2); }my mistake was
InvoiceLine invoiceline = new InvoiceLine();
create instants before loop

That's the one. Though I'd have just moved the original line into the loop! :-D
