Hello fellow SD teachers,<br>
<br>
C# coding question - what is the best way to allow a USER to enter data into an array using a GUI, not the console?<br>
<br>
I?ve used InputBoxes and loops with Visual Basic, however InputBoxes don?t seem to be thing in C#, without adding the Microsoft.VisualBasic namepace.<br>
<br>
I can add data to an array during design time easily enough, but I want the USER to be able to click on a button and be prompted to enter data, which then populates the array.<br>
<br>
Or am I going about this the wrong way entirely and should be using another technique?<br>
<br>

Um,<br>
<br>
The problem with arrays is that they are made with a fixed size.<br>
<br>
You can easily have a textbox (or NumericInput) control, then a button that adds to the array. You will need to have a counter variable that keeps track of where you are in the array.<br>
<br>
Or you could just use a List<T> which has methods for adding and removing from the list (List is just an array with lots of helpful functions that make it easier to use).<br>
<br>
Hope that helps!<br>
<br>
