[RESOLVED] VS2010/.Net4 Need help setting up a structure

Hello!

I'm having trouble with the FieldData[] part.

Here is a code segment:

Code:

---

public struct dataObj
        {
            string Delimiter;
            string[] FieldData = new string[128];
            int NumberOfFields;
            string TxString;
            int TransmitInterval;
        }
        public dataObj MyDataObj = new dataObj

---

I need to be able to use the structure like this:

Code:

---

MyDataObj.Delimiter = ",";
MyDataObj.FieldData[0] = "555";
MyDataObj.FieldData[1] = "543";
...
...
MyDataObj.FieldData[n] = "xxx";
MyDataObj.NumberOfFields = 10;

---

Can someone show me how to do this?
I can do this using a VisualBasic method, but I am trying to avoid this if possible.
Thanks!

So what is the problem you are having? Hard to help if you don't tell us what kind of problem you are having.

Sorry about that!

I'm getting an error even before I try to compile/execute.
'cannot have instance field initializers in structs'

This line of code gives the error, however, when outside of the structure, it works just fine.

Code:

---

string[] FieldData = new string[128];

You should create a class rather than a structure. Then create an instance of the class at what ever level you need to use it.

I've never had the need to do this, so I don't have a wealth of knowlege to help you out, but I did run accross what seems to be an interesting page covering your topic.

DataMiser,

I'm just an old hack trying to make it in the .Net world!

That was the solution!

Thanks for your help!
