[Gtk-sharp-list] is this legal in C#

[Charles Iliya Krempeaux]

Hello,

Objects are passed by reference.  Not by value.

So... pbooks[0], pbooks[1], and pbooks[2] all reference
"c".  In other words, they all point to the same object.

You probably want to something like this instead...


public class Phonebook
{
        public string Name;
        public string Path;
        public string Type;
}
        
public class Phonetools
{
        Phonebook[] pbooks = null;
                                                
        pbooks = new Phonebook[3];
                        
        for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++  )
        {
                pbooks[i] = new Phonebook();

                pbooks[i].Name = "name"+i.ToString());
                pbooks[i].Type = "type"+i.ToString());
                pbooks[i].Path = "path"+i.ToString());
        }

        foreach (Phonebook x in pbooks)
                Console.WriteLine(x.Name);
}


That should work.


See ya
