Question

I dont much idea about Foreach Loop

I have 4 String Variables and i am storing the encrypted values from app.config in those varialbles.My Work is to Detect if there is data in those 4 variables.Even if one doesnt have values i want to pass a default encrypted values to it.I started doing like this……

string EncValue = oEncrypt.EncryptBase64String("NO Data Found");
UpdateOrCreateAppSetting("UserName", ref MPScmUserName);
UpdateOrCreateAppSetting("Password", ref MPScmPassword);
UpdateOrCreateAppSetting("DBUserName", ref MPDbUserName);
UpdateOrCreateAppSetting("DBPassword", ref MPDbPassword);
var list5 = from docs in doc1.Descendants("appender").Elements()
                                            where docs.Name == "file"
                                            select docs;
var element5 = list5.FirstOrDefault();
MPLoadAppConfig = appConfigFile1;
MPErrorLog = element5.Attribute("value").Value;

string[] namesArray = new string[] {
         MPScmUserName,MPScmPassword,MPDbUserName,MPDbPassword};

foreach (string i in namesArray)
{
    if (i is string)
    {
        if (i == "")
        {
            i = EncValue.ToString();
        }
    }
}

How should i assign default encrypted value to the strings in that array which is a empty string. Please Help me….

You don’t need to say if (i is string) because it’s already a string.

In another if block you may say

if(string.IsNullOrEmpty(i))
{
}

or you may use:

string[] arr = new string[] { "","A"};

            for (int i = 0; i < arr.Length; i++)
            {
                if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(arr[i]))
                {
                    arr[i] = "Hello";
                }
            }
