Question

I want to pass around some values in an array that will always be a known size. I would like to define a class that represents this array of decimal values which could not be resized, would always have the same number of elements, and supports the [] array notation.

In c++ I could do an operator overloading for this – but I can’t see how to do it in c#

To be clear – the use of the class would be something like:

MyValues values = new MyValues;
values[3] = 14;
values[7] = 10

….
And later

decimal aValue = values[2];

Suggestions?

You need to write an indexer, like this:

public decimal this[int index] {
    get { return data[index]; }
    set { data[index] = value; }
}
