Creating several instances and later access them

Hi,

this is more of a general question and I would hope that you can give me some best-practice or refer me to a good page with this kind of information.

I'm working on a poker client right now and when the server is being started it should create X tables so that the Lobby (for the user) is not empty so when the program starts on the server it creates 6 tables which can be found in the lobby however how should the user access the right table?

All tables have an unique ID but I'm having problem what is a good approach here.

Thanks in advance,

Tomas

I can show you what I have done so far:
When the program is being Initialized it runs this method:

DataTable allTables = sql.RetrieveAllTables();

for (int i = 0; i < allTables.Rows.Count; i++)

{

DataRow row = allTables.Rows[i];

int tableID = Convert.ToInt32(row["TableID"]);

Classes.Gameplay.Table temp = new Classes.Gameplay.Table(tableID);

tables.Add(tableID, temp);

}

It is far from completed but the idea is that I will always have atleast two tables of each poker form (Texas and Omaha for example) and for each stake (10/20 and 25/50 for example) that will be created when the server (the program) is restarted.

The tables are being loaded into the lobby and when I double click one table this code is being runned and opens up the table:

//Return the selected Row:

DataRow row = ((DataRowView)listViewLobbyMataAses.SelectedItem).Row;

//Return the value from the first column (TableID)

int ID = Convert.ToInt32(row[0]);

Classes.Gameplay.Table t;

if (tables.TryGetValue(ID, out t))

{

t.StartMataAsesTable(2);

}

Do you think this is a good approach?

Best regards,
Tomas
