Class Instantiation for multiple arrays

Hi all

Given the class below..
I need to create an instance of it and populate it with data.

I.e
Invoice varInvoice = new Invoice

varInvoice(FileType varXML, int varTransactionID, byte Data )

given that byte is read from file.. and Given that I need to create and array type Invoices[] varInvoices,
i.e Invoices[] will contain list of different invoices.. 1..n invoices..

Thanks in Advnace

public partial class Invoice {
        
        private string fileTypeField;
        
        private string transactionIDField;
        
        private byte[] dataField;
        
        /// <remarks/>
        public string FileType {
            get {
                return this.fileTypeField;
            }
            set {
                this.fileTypeField = value;
            }
        }
        
        /// <remarks/>
        public string TransactionID {
            get {
                return this.transactionIDField;
            }
            set {
                this.transactionIDField = value;
            }
        }
        
        /// <remarks/>
        [System.Xml.Serialization.XmlElementAttribute(DataType="base64Binary")]
        public byte[] Data {
            get {
                return this.dataField;
            }
            set {
                this.dataField = value;
            }
        }
    }

Hi Dan7el
Given that I have a requirement to use array i.e Invoices []

How would that look like?

Thanks

Well, you'd have to know how many elements of the array you needed before hand, or have some mechanism for "dynamically" allocating new elements for each array. That can be done of course, it's just a tad messy.

Given the same construcor:

int numElements = 60;
Invoice[] invoices = new Invoice[60];

for( int index = 0; index < numElements; index++ )
{
// again, get the data and stuff.
invoices[index] = new Invoice( fileType, transID, data );
}
