How do I create any array with a struct which contains an array?

Joe Bucalo

I am very new to C# and I want to create an array of 200 records with each record structured as follows:

struct ChangeRec

{ public datetime TimeStamp;

public int Last ;

public int [] mode

}

The problem is how do I initialize the mode array to 20 records, and how do I access the array dynamically? I am not bound to use a struct etc, I just need the functionality of an array that has the mode array as part of its record structure.

// create a changeRec array of 200 records with index 0 - 199
            ChangeRec[] changeRec = new ChangeRec[200];

            for (int i=0; i            {
                // initialize earch changeRec mode with 20 records with index 0 - 19
                changeRec[i].mode = new int[20];
            }

            // access the 6th mode of the 51st changeRec
            changeRec[50].mode[5] = 5;

hi
heare is ur structure
struct ChangeRec
        {
            public DateTime TimeStamp;

            public int Last;

            public int[] mode;
            public ChangeRec(int no)
            {
                TimeStamp = DateTime.Now;
                Last = 0;
                mode = new int[no];
            }
        }

now use the folowing code to initiallize your structure object array

ChangeRec[] c = new ChangeRec[20];
            for (int i = 0; i < c.Length;i++)
                c[i] = new ChangeRec(20);

and here is the code to work with each object's array element
c[0].mode[0] = 2;
Response.Write(c[0].mode[0].ToString());

this works for this simple example hope it work for your requirements..
