[RESOLVED] Return position in an array via a method

[Nightwalker83]

Hi,

How do I return position in an array via a method?

I have this code to retrieve the corresponding phone number from the array when a customer name is entered in the textbox name.

private void txtName_DoubleClick(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            bool found = false;
            //Search for a phone number
            //Check and make sure the entered name is in the text file and the name field is not blank
            if (!found && txtName.Text == "")
            {
                return;
            }
            else 
            {
                cboPhone.Text = RetrievePhone(Name).ToString();
            }
        }
        private int RetrievePhone(string Name)
        {
            //Retrieves the customers phone number from the array
            int counter = 0;
           int Number =  0;
            bool found = false;
            string criteria = txtName.Text;
            
                while (!found && counter < cPhone.Length)
                {
                    if (criteria.ToUpper() == cName[counter].ToUpper())
                    {
                        found = true;
                    }
                    else
                    {
                        counter += 1;
                    }
 
                }
                //CAUTION: found = true Assigns true to bool variable! 
                if (found == true && txtName.Text != "")
                {              //NOTE: found == true;      
                    Number = cPhone[counter];
                }
                return Number;
}

However, I was told I needed to retrieve the name by entering the phone number and returning the position the match occurred.

Thanks,
