E@Denis sorry, does this link work? its winforms, and basically I want to retrieve the data from the textboxes and make an object (Person) out of it and add to an array

AAnd what doesn't work?
AI see you create a new
Person successfullyAAt least I assume so, since you didn't mention any errors
AAnd adding it to an array... well, it's a little tricky since you would also need to keep track on the last index you inserted into, so you can then add the object to the next index
AOr just use a list instead of an array and
.Add() the elementEahh thank you! I was trying to use the .Add() but I didn´t realize it doesnt work for array. In an array it must be append right?
E@ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ if I would to keep it as an array, then I would have to use a for loop right? to make sure that each index is a new one.
ANo, arrays are fixed size. There's no add, no append, you can only set the value at specific index
ANot necessarily, no
AYou can keep the index in a field, and then increment the value whenever you add a new person
ESo there is no way to add to an array other than specifying the index?
EI was thinking for example
String [] persons = [20];
For (int i =0; i<=persons.Length; i++)
{
persons[i] = new person (values)
}
String [] persons = [20];
For (int i =0; i<=persons.Length; i++)
{
persons[i] = new person (values)
}
EDont mind the syntax, just trying to convey the idea
AThe lenght always is... the length of the array
ASo it will not change with adding new elements, if that was what you were hoping
AYou can, of course, add elements in a loop
ABut you get individual, singular inputs, right?
AOne element with one click of a button
AThere's no loop involved
PMust it be an array? Most C# developers would use a list here instead of an array.
AWas this issue resolved? If so, run
