[RESOLVED] Convert Visual Basic User Type into C#??

[mojo69]

In Visual Basic 6 you can set up a user defined type and declare an array as that type. How does this get accomplished in C#? Do I create a dataset to hold the values I need? ArrayList?

Type TypeGLCash
    CshGLNo As String
    CshGLAmt As String
    CshTicket As String
End Type

Private GLCash() As TypeGLCash

I have seen some information about structs. Can you create an struct array?

        private struct YPUR
        {
            private string CustNum;
            private string CustName;

        }

To create that in C#, I would do the following:

public struct TypeGLCash
{
  public string cshGLNo;
  public string cshGLAmt;
  public string cshTicket;
}

And then create a list in your code like

List<TypeGLCash> list = new List<TypeGLCash>();

You can then add an item to it as follows:

TypeGLCash newitem = new TypeGLCash();
newitem.cshGLAmt = "1";
newitem.cshGLNo = "2";
newitem.cshTicket = "3";
 
list.Add(newitem);

You can also create a constructor in the struct and add the item to the list in one line

public struct TypeGLCash
{
  public string cshGLNo;
  public string cshGLAmt;
  public string cshTicket;
 
  public TypeGLCash(string cshGLNo, string cshGLAmt, string cshTicket)
  {
    this.cshGLNo = cshGLNo;
    this.cshGLAmt = cshGLAmt;
    this.cshTicket = cshTicket;
  } //end TypeGLCash
}
 
//and create the list/add an item
List<TypeGLCash> list = new List<TypeGLCash>();
list.Add(new TypeGLCash("1", "2", "3"));
