I have 2 types of string: Mer and Spl
// Example
string testMer = "321|READY|MER";
string testSpl = "321|READY|SPL";
Then I will split them:
var splitMer = testMer.Split('|');
var splitSpl = testSpl.Split('|');
I have an object to save them
public class TestObject
{
public int id { get; set; }
public string status { get; set; }
public string type { get; set; }
}
Question: How to convert the Array into the TestObject?
var converted = new TestObject
{
id = int.Parse(splitMer[0]),
status = splitMer[1],
type = splitMer[2]
};
You will need to add some error checking.
var values = new List<string> { "321|READY|MER", "321|READY|SPL" };
var result = values.Select(x =>
{
var parts = x.Split(new [] {'|' },StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries);
return new TestObject
{
id = Convert.ToInt32(parts[0]),
status = parts[1],
type = parts[2]
};
}).ToArray();
You just need to use object initializers and set your properties.By the way instead of storing each value into seperate variables, use a List.Then you can get your result with LINQ easily.
var splitMer = testMer.Split('|');
var testObj = new TestObject();
testObj.Id = Int32.Parse(splitMer[0]);
testObj.Status = splitMer[1];
testObj.type = splitMer[2];
var testObj[size]= new TestObject(); for storing multiple objects.How about adding a Constructor to your Class that takes a String as a Parameter. Something like this.
public class TestObject
{
public int id { get; set; }
public string status { get; set; }
public string type { get; set; }
public TestObject(string value)
{
var valueSplit = value.Split('|');
id = int.Parse(valueSplit[0]);
status = valueSplit[1];
type = valueSplit[2];
}
}
Usage:
TestObject tst1 = new TestObject(testMer);
TestObject tst2 = new TestObject(testSpl);
new TestObject { id = Int.Parse(splitMer[0]), status = splitMer[1], type = splitMer[2] }?
