Question

Ok, i feel so ashamed to ask this question, but I can’t understand why this code in c# does not compile in vs2010 express:

string[] value;
for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++)
        {
            value[i] = "";
        }

Why it says that it’s unassigned?

Answer 1

you need to assign the array first, then items in the array.

 string[] value = new string[3];

If you want to add items dynamically, and have it resize as needed, you might be better off with a generic list, eg.

var values = new List<string>();
for(int i = 0; i < 3; i++)
{
    values.Add("");   // or values.Add(String.Empty);
}
