Question

I have generated a class from XSD. The following

[System.Xml.Serialization.XmlElementAttribute("mailer", Form=System.Xml.Schema.XmlSchemaForm.Unqualified)]
public itemOrderMailer[] mailer {
    get {
        return this.mailerField;
    }
    set {
        this.mailerField = value;
    }
}

Does not allow me to use syntax

itemOrder order = new itemOrder();
            order.mailer = {};

I get error “; expected” from the compiler.

There’s no issue doing

int[] ints = { };

Why? Aren’t these both arrays?

Answer 1

It is working with the ints only, because you have declaration and initialization in the same line.
Try this:

int[] ints;
ints = { };

it isn’t working.

This however is:

int[] ints;
ints = new int[]{ };

But it really doesn’t make a lot of sense, because you just created an array with 0 elements in it. Not very useful…

Anyway, to make your code work with the mailer, use this:

itemOrder order = new itemOrder();
order.mailer = new itemOrderMailer[]{};
