You're the yellow bird that I've been waiting for. Reputation: +0/-0 Offline Gender: Posts: 242	Is it possible to use value of a string array as the names of the items? If so, can someone explain to me how to do it, because I can't seem to figure it out :/ « Last Edit: August 19, 2006, 10:10:24 pm by brighteyes » Logged

Edit: Sorry, even with your edit that dosen't make sense, could you post some example code of what you want? « Last Edit: August 19, 2006, 09:43:12 pm by Helios » Logged

However instead of simply displaying "Card1" or something like that I want it to display the card's name which has been stored in an array. Logged

Sorry I still haven't a clue what you mean. Do you mean you want to add a string to a list then get it back out of the list and display its value? Or do you mean an array of bytes you want to display as a string? Or do you mean you want to display a string element of an array?

Edit: Is this what you mean?

Code: [Select]

string[] cardNames = new string[3] { "CardA", "CardB", "CardC" }
int myCurrentCard = 1;
Console.WriteLine("My current card's name is {0}", cardNames[myCurrentCard]);

See that big white box in the bottom right hand corner of the program. That is a list with selectable items in it. When you create the list, you can also edit it's collection of items. In this case, I would like it to list all of the cards that the creator has made thus far. Clicking on the card will allow the creator to view and edit that cards. All of the cards' names are stored into a string array. My problem is that in the collection editor I can only enter plain text, but I want to enter the the variables to display the cards' names rather than a predefined unchangable text. Does that clear things up at all?

You have to realise to the compiler all a variable is, is a stack index or heap index, the identifier is just for ease of use, its never actually stored in the compiled code. « Last Edit: August 19, 2006, 10:07:27 pm by Helios » Logged
