The Situation is like this: I have multiple textboxes. On the occurrence of textChanged event the textbox should be stored in the array so that I can use it in further functions.
private void txt_TextChanged(object sender, TextChangedEventArgs e)
{
TextBox t;
t = (TextBox)sender;
}
Now I have the textbox which was responsible for the event. Now I have to store this and more to come in an array so that these can be accessed elsewhere in another function.
You could throw it in a list if ya like. Not sure why you would really want to do this though...
List<TextBox> txtbxList = new List<TextBox>();
private void txt_TextChanged(object sender, TextChangedEventArgs e)
{
TextBox t;
t = (TextBox)sender;
txtbxList.Add(t);
}
I dont know why you need to store your TextBoxes in a List or Array but you can use the generic List for that.
Represents a strongly typed list of objects that can be accessed by index. Provides methods to search, sort, and manipulate lists.
List<TextBox> myTextBoxes = new List<TextBox>();
// Add a TextBox
myTextBoxes.Add(myTextBox);
// get a TextBox by Name
TextBox t = myTextBoxes.Where(x => x.Name == "TextBoxName").FirstOrDefault();
Assuming you want to store the text from the TextBoxes, you can use a dictionary like this:
private Dictionary<string, string> dictionary = new Dictionary<string, string>();
private void txt_TextChanged(object sender, TextChangedEventArgs e)
{
TextBox textBox = (TextBox)sender;
string key = textBox.Name;
string value = textBox.Text;
if (!dictionary.ContainsKey(key))
{
dictionary.Add(key, value);
}
else
{
dictionary[key] = value;
}
}
List<TextBox>rather than aTextBox[]array. But as Msonic implied, it's hard to propose a solution without knowing the underlying problem you want to solve.
