Question

I have the following code that is suppose to search an array :

for (int i = 0; i < this.passwordList.Length; i++)

       {

            string userInput = Convert.ToString(this.passInput);

            if(userInput == passwordList[i])
            {

                MessageBox.Show("FOUND");
                foundResult = 1;
                break;

            }
            //MessageBox.Show();


        }

and the array has the following results :

public string[] passwordList = {"123456", "145784" , "asasas"};

What am I doing wrong!?!?

Answer 1

The mistake is probably here:

string userInput = Convert.ToString(this.passInput);

If you have a WinForms control, try something like this instead:

string userInput = this.passInput.Text;

You might also want to inspect the value of userInput in a debugger to make sure that it contains the value that you expect.
