I have one 2D array:
string[,] table = new string[100,2];
and I want to add the table[,0] to a listbox, something like that
listbox1.Items.AddRange(table[,0]);
What is the trick to do that?
Edit: I want to know if it possible to do that using AddRange
For readability you can create extension method for an array.
public static class ArrayExtensions
{
public static T[] GetColumn<T>(this T[,] array, int columnNum)
{
var result = new T[array.GetLength(0)];
for (int i = 0; i < array.GetLength(0); i++)
{
result[i] = array[i, columnNum];
}
return result;
}
}
Now you can easily add ranges as slices from array. Note that you create a copy of elements from original array.
listbox1.Items.AddRange(table.GetColumn(0));
.net for this purposes. But you can use jagged arrays, which are essentially arrays of arrays, which in your canse would be string[][]. Then accessing table[2] will return to you the second row.
