Question

In brief words, I am writing a code in C# that initializes a lot of arrays after hitting a button. If I hit the button. It should give me a specific value according to a password that I give to the program. If I hit the same button again, it should give me the same exact value if the password is the same (If you’re curious, it’s Encryption/Decryption program).

The problem is that it doesn’t give the same value unless I close the form and reopen it. Which makes me think of an array that is not destroyed and giving values from last run. How can I destroy everything (exactly like if I close the form) but without closing the interface? Thanks in advance!!

As you don’t provide any code, answering is a bit of quessing:

• Is the array you initialized declared globally or locally? If globally try to move it inside the function (if you want the exact same data in it for each time the function is called).
• If you want to clear the array, depending on type of array, call .Clear() on it. But as long as you don’t modify the content it shouldn’t be necessary. If the array doesn’t expose a Clear() method, use myArray = null;
