Consuming an Array returned from a Method

Question

from my function below, I am returning an array. In C# how would I consume that array?

 public Array arrayFucntion()
 {
// do something

 foreach (var Objs in items)
            {



                list.Add(Objs.value1);


            }

            string[] myArray = list.ToArray();
            MessageBox.Show(myArray.ToString());
            return myArray;
}

Now how would I use it in a function like below

void consumeFunction()
        {

            var x = arrayFucntion();

       // what do do to see values of the array


        }

Return a string[], then you can do the for loop through the string array.

public string[]arrayFucntion()

void consumeFunction()
{
  var x = arrayFucntion();
  for (int i=0; i<x.Lenght; i++)
  {       
    x[i]...
  }
}

Make the return type string[] instead of Array.

You can iterate through the members:

foreach (string sArrayMember in x)
{
   // Do something with s
}

You can also access any of the properties or members listed in the MSDN documentation, including Copy, Find, and Sort.

x is now an array object...

you can do foreach on it, or use linq.....or using direct addressing x[0]
