Question

I am new to C#

I have a struct like

struct Package
{
Public int[] intvalues;
Public char[] charvalues;
Public string strvalue;
}

Now I have a string

string strquery;

I want to take the value of intvalues of the Package whose name is strquery.

As far as I tried, this didnt work

(Package)strquery.strvalue

Please help

Well, you can’t do anything like that. Because for a string isn’t defined any explicit casting operator such as your struct Package.

Also, the strquery.strvalue is completely wrong, as the string doesn’t have such a field.

You can try what Phaedrus said.

From what you’ve said until now I think you are doing something like this:

List<Package> listOfPackages =new List<Package>();
// You fill up here the list
foreach (Package pkg in listOfPackages)
{
   if (pkg.strvalue == strquery)
   {
       Console.WriteLine("found a package with items:");
       // write the pkg.intvalues
       for(int i=0;i<pkg.intvalues.Length;i++)
           Console.Write(pkg.intvalues[i].ToString());
       Console.WriteLine(" ");
    }
}
