Question

I am using the following code to store a person’s information from a grid view row in a list:

public class PlayerInfo
{
    public string FirstName { get; set; }
    public string Email { get; set; }
    public string DaysLeft { get; set; }
}


protected void btn_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    List<PersonInfo> person_list = new List<PersonInfo>();

          foreach (GridViewRow row in my_gridview.Rows)
        {
            CheckBox cb = (CheckBox)(row.Cells[2].FindControl("CheckBox"));
            if (cb.Checked)
            {
                person_list.Add(new PlayerInfo() {FirstName=row.Cells[0].Text,Email=row.Cells[2].Text,DaysLeft=row.Cells[5].Text});
            }
            else
            {

            }
        }

etc etc..

}

So if I try and output person_list[0] this will not work as there are three items associated to each point in the list, so position 0 in the list contains the first name, email and days left. I can see the items are being stored properly when debugging in visual studio.

How would I retrieve each item individually from this list? For example being able to set the values to variables in a loop, so the email address would be assigned to an email variable, the first name to another etc? I have only ever dealt with normal arrays and have never come across a hierarchical list before.

Thanks in advance.

Iterate it using for like this

for(int i =0; i <person_list.Count; i++)
{
  string name =  person_list[i].FirstName;
  string email =  person_list[i].Email;
  string daysLeft =  person_list[i].DaysLeft;
}
