Hi Dinesh,

This code will help you in resolve your issue.

    public static DataClass LoadView()
        {
           DataClass obj = new DataClass();
            obj.Property1= new int[5]{ 26, 27, 28, 29, 30 };
            obj.Property2=new int[3]{1,2,3};
            return obj;
      }

public class DataClass
        {
            public    int[] Property1 { get; set; }

            public int[] Property2 { get; set; }
        }

Please mark as answer if it resolve your issue.

Hi Dinesh ,

you can use like this
1.   struct Assert
2.  {
3.       public Array Product1;
4.       public Array Product2;
5.  }

1.  public static Assert LoadView()
2.  {
3.  Assert values = new Assert();
4.  DataTable dt = new DataTable();
5.  DataView view = new DataView(dt);
6.  view.RowFilter = (("Name='AD'"));
7.  DataTable dtcopy = view.ToTable("Selected", false, "Time", "Inuse");
8.  var arr = dtcopy.Rows.Cast().Select(r => r.ItemArray).ToArray();
9.
10. Values. Product1= arr;
11.
12. DataView view1 = new DataView(dt);
13. view1.RowFilter = (("Name='BD'"));
14. DataTable dtcopy1 = view1.ToTable("Selected", false, "Time", "Inuse");
15. var arr1 = dtcopy1.Rows.Cast().Select(r => r.ItemArray).ToArray();
16.
17. Values. Product2= arr1 ;
18.  return Values;
19. }

Why don't you create a list of datatable and return that list and deal with rest of logic in your calling method.

4. DataView view = new DataView(dt);
5. view.RowFilter = (("Name='AD'"));
6. DataTable dtcopy = view.ToTable("Selected", false, "Time", "Inuse");
7. var arr = dtcopy.Rows.Cast<DataRow>().Select(r => r.ItemArray).ToArray();
9. return arr;
11. DataView view1 = new DataView(dt);
12. view1.RowFilter = (("Name='BD'"));
13. DataTable dtcopy1 = view1.ToTable("Selected", false, "Time", "Inuse");
14. var arr1 = dtcopy1.Rows.Cast<DataRow>().Select(r => r.ItemArray).ToArray();
16. return arr1;
17. }
Please Update your explanation more .I don't understand how to do that .Can you please make a code for what am looking?@

Hi Dinesh ,

you can use below any approach .

1. you can use "Ref " keyword .

2. you can Use "OUT" keywork .

3. you can use return as object

struct Assert
{
public Array Product1;
public Array Product2;
}
public static Assert LoadAssetAssignView()
{
Assert values = new Assert();
values.Product1= "somevalue";
values.Product1= "Some value"
return values;
}

4.Returning Tuple

public Tuple<Array,Array> LoadAssetAssignView()
{
return new Tuple<Array, Array>("somevalue", "somevalue");
}

Thanks

Hi Dinesh,

You can return multi dimensional array.

Alternatively you can create a class with two properties as following.

public class DataClass
{
public Array Property1 { get; set; }
public Array Property2 { get; set; }
}

And create an object of this class in your static method, populate the property and return the Object from the method.

public static Array LoadAssetAssignView()
{
DataClass obj = new DataClass();
obj.Property1 = new Array();
obj.Property2 = new Array();
return obj;
}

I hope this solves your issue.

Thanks and regards,
