Problem with Microsoft Example textBox.Lines

Ok I am still learning C# going from VB and basically just playing around with the different controls and what they do. But I found an inconsistency on the Dynamic Help and the actual code that works. So can you tell me what is the proper way of doing this?

Ok a simple textbox, the lines are put into an array automatically. this I understand and well I like it and now I am trying to use it. So if you click on the line property in the properties window of a textBox then the help and example for that is this next code, however if I use that code I get an error, when I reach the end of the loop it bombs because I am going over the Upper bound limit of the array.

Code:

---

Microsofts code

    // Create a string array and store the contents of the Lines property.
    string[] tempArray = new string [textBox1.Lines.Length];
    tempArray = textBox1.Lines;
 
    // Loop through the array and send the contents of the array to debug window.
    for(int counter=0; counter <= tempArray.Length;counter++)
    {
      System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(tempArray[counter]);
    }

---

Now My code just a simple change in the for loop parameters and my code works, now is microsoft wrong in the documentation sample or am I just missing something

Code:

---

my Code
                       
string[] textLines = new string [textWindow.Lines.Length];
textLines = textWindow.Lines;

for (int loopcount=0; loopcount < textLines.Length; loopcount++)
{
      MessageBox.Show(textLines[loopcount]);
}

---

Code:

---

for(int counter=0; counter <= tempArray.Length;counter++)

---

Thats the problem. Remember the first index of an array is 0. So if you declare an array like this.

Code:

---

string[] myString = new string [5];

//These are valid
myString[0] = 1;
myString[1] = 2;
myString[2] = 3;
myString[3] = 4;
myString[4] = 5;

//This is not. Will get out of bounds error
myString[5] = 6

---

In VB6, this would be ok, since the first index of an array in VB6 is 1 or what you set it to.

So the correct header for the for loop would be

Code:

---

for(int counter=0; counter < tempArray.Length;counter++)

---

MS probably made a mistake in the documentation.

Thanks DevGrp I kinda figured it was an MS error in the docs, the arrays there make sense, still getting used to the Syntax and how it does the things it does.
