I have an array list of serial port configuration. i want to call these configuration later in the program. So how can i call the configuration from 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;

/// <summary>
/// Summary description for Class1
/// </summary>
public class Class1
{
public Class1()
{
}

public ArrayList SerialPortContainer = new ArrayList();

private string config\_file = "C:/achu/config.txt";
private string PhoneNumber;
private string ServiceCentre;



public bool test()
{
    try
    {
        //SerialPort serialPort1 = new SerialPort();
        
        string line;
        //string file = "C:/achu/config.txt";
        TextReader tr = new StreamReader(config\_file);
        System.IO.StreamReader objReader;
        objReader = new System.IO.StreamReader(config\_file);
        int NumberOfLines = 0;

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


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

        for (int i = 0; i < NumberOfLines; i++)
        {
            ListLines\[i\] = objReader.ReadLine();
            //MessageBox.Show(Convert.ToString(ListLines\[i\]));

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

            //\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*READING SIM PHONE NUMBER\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*
            string\[\] NumberSplit = values\[3\].Split(new char\[\] { ':', '#' });
            PhoneNumber = NumberSplit\[1\];

[Cannot understand the question clearly]...hmmm..Ok if you want to access those array values in the ATTest() method,declare those array variables as global variables i mean at class level not inside the method Test().

Using a field in the class, like myConfigArray? If you have to use it in another class think about using static fields that are public. Regards Sebastian

It's not a bug, it's a feature! Check out my CodeProject article Permission-by-aspect. Me in Softwareland.

hiii First Option: Pass The Array to the function... Second Option: Declare The Arryas as "Class" Private Members.....
