Length of string in array

[Michael C]

I have an array of strings

string[] strArray = new string[10];

strArray[5] = "ABC";

How can I determine the number of characters in the array item?

if (strArray[5].length = = 3)
{
}

This is acually returning 10 which is the array length

I want the array item string.length

Thanks

Michael

That is correct though...

Console.WriteLine(strArray[5].Length);

That should return 3.

Maybe you called strArray.Length without an indexer?

Maybe try something like (strArray[5]).Length.

Maybe try something like (strArray[5]).Length.

This should make no difference, does it

You are right that it should not, but since the problem was that Length was
being applied to the array rather then the array element, this was all that
I could think of. There is nothing like being explicit when troubleshooting
code.

I think the problem is that we weren't seeing the actual code. The code
posted certainly wouldn't compile (due to the space in the comparison)
so I suspect it wasn't the real code.
