Indexer question

[Andrei Ungureanu]

Hi, I have a small problem. I want to create 2 properties to one of my classes. All I want is to make easier for the users of my class to get some data out of my class. I want when a user writes

Test[i]

to get some data and when the user writes

Test[i][j]

to get another type of response. I need a little help with the second type of property:

public class Test
{
//some data

public object this[int index]
{
get
{
//get data
}
}
}

This one works. My question is how to write the second one? Thanks in advance

The second is a result of the first. Test[i][j] can be broken down like this:

B someB = someA[i];
object result = someB[j];

or it can be written in a compressed form like this:

object result = someA[i][j];

The classes look like this:

public A
{
public B this[int index]
{
get
{
return stuff
}
}
}

public B
{
public object this[int index]
{
get
{
return stuff
}
}

}

Does this help?

If the returning type from your indexer has indexer, it will work. Otherwise i don't see a simpler way to implement this.

Thanks a lot. It really works :-D

Why don't you add another indexer with 2 parameters.
