How to store a textbox value in two dimensional array

Question

0.00/5 (No votes)

See more:

I have a text box that takes two numbers separated by a comma. For eg: "05, 2004".
I have a two dimensional array called store[i][j] of integer type.
I would like to store 10 in ith position and 2010 in jth position.
such that, store[0][0] should be equal to "05, 2010"
So far, I've only been learning and dealing with one dimensionl array,
and have been using the following statement to read values from a textbox.

C#

if (!int.TryParse(carmake.Text, out store[0]))
MessageBox.Show(&quot;type an integer &quot;);

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

Hi,
May be this will help you or you'll get some idea

C#

string textBox = "45,78";
int[,] values = new int[1,2];
string[] textBoxSplit = textBox.Split(',');
values[0, 0] = Convert.ToInt32(textBoxSplit[0]);
values[0, 1] = Convert.ToInt32(textBoxSplit[1]);

Thanks for your reply, but I am afraid that Split(); method is not available to textbox control in WPF. I tried with "carmake.Split(','); but I get an error that the System.windows.Controls does not contain a definition for that method. Any thought about it ?

Look carefully, textBox in this sample is a -string-.

Solution 2

Two dimensional arrays are used to construct matrices. And at teach point in the array, you could still only save one item. Example:

[0][0] : "5, 2010" | [0][1] : "6, 2010"
[1][0] : "5, 2011" | [1][1] : "6, 2011"

What I think you would need to look at is either List<KeyValuePair<int, int>> or Tuple<int, int>.

Thanks. Very good example. Easy to understand for an amateur like me. Please see if you could answer my other question about controls in WPF.

Sorry mate, never worked with WPF before.

I updated this solution to display the type chevrons properly. Use HTML entities (</>) to get them.

Cheers. Didn't know I had to use those. It's been a looong time... since I've used those.
