Accessing array elements with dynamic size

Hi,

So I have an array named Services[] which is a return from a web service method.

I want to access its elements. Currently I have:

Services[] x = new Services[5];

x = getServicesLibrary();

for (int i = 0; i < x.Length; i++)

{

label1.text = x[i].servicecode.ToString() + "->" + x[i].servicedesc.ToString() + " ");

}

and the result is: 1->Laboratory

I am getting the first element only. How can I get all the elements of the array?

And also, is it possible to declare a dynamic size of the array? Since it is coming form a web service, I am assuming that the ServiceLibrary will expand.

Thank you so much!

To set dynamic size array, try this:
Services[] x = getServicesLibrary();

for (int i = 0; i < x.Length; i++)
{
label1.text = x[i].servicecode.ToString() + "->" + x[i].servicedesc.ToString() + " ");
}

For 'getting only 1st element issue', I don't think there is problem in the code.
Debug your code by puting breakpoint to see whether getServiceLibrary() returns more than 1 element or not.
