Add a new instance to an array with late binding - dynamic

[garak]

Hi,

I want to add one element to an Array dynamicly, according to the type
of the parameter ALLDATA.
ALLDATA may be of type PObjects, PActions, PMaterials.
I Thougth about my code to look something like this:

public void GetAllData (Object[] AllData) {
Type dataType = AllData.GetType();
AllData[curData] = new dataType();
}

But the compiler says :
error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'dataType' could not be
found.


One more problem is, that AllData.GetType returns PObjects[] etc. when
I need PObjects.

Can someone help me please.

Thank you very much.

You need to use Activator.CreateInstance, or get a constructor from the
Type and invoke it.

I need PObjects.

See Type.GetElementType()
