Question

I have this piece of code which is calling some functions in a web service. however the original was written in VB and when I have converted it it gives me an error in my c# stating that ‘The name Information does not exist in the current context’ I have checked the VB and it win there either! any thoughts?

Code

try {
        Atlas.ah21 oAh21 = new Atlas.ah21();
        oAh21.session_id = sessionID;
        oAh21.input = txtPostcode.Text;
        oAh21.data = "";
        Atlas.arrayOfAddress oAddresses = oAtlas.ah21(oAh21);

        int x = 0;
        int y = 0;
        string s = null;

    for (x = 0; x <= oAddresses.address.Length - 1; x++)
    {
        s = "";
        for (y = 0; y <= Information.UBound(oAddresses.address(x).LABEL.item); y++)
        {
            if (s.Length > 0)
            {
                s = s + ", ";
            }
            s = s + oAddresses.address(x).LABEL.item(y);
        }
        lstMatches.Items.Add(s);
    }

        txtStatus.Text = "Ready. ";

        if (oAddresses.address.Length > 1) {
            txtStatus.Text = txtStatus.Text + Convert.ToString(oAddresses.address.Length) + " matches found.";
        } else {
            txtStatus.Text = txtStatus.Text + Convert.ToString(oAddresses.address.Length) + " match found.";
        }
} catch {
    txtStatus.Text = "Error";
} finally {
        btnSearch.Enabled = true;
}

Please excuse the amount of code however i think it necessary in the context of this question.

Answer 1

I don’t really know VB but i think UBound is just returning the length of the collection so you would do

for (y = 0; y <= oAddresses.address[x].LABEL.item.Length; y++)

Further to your comment i have realised that address(x) should be address[x]. In c# you only use () for method calls, indexers use []. In VB they both use () i think.
