how to deal with a method that returns object array?

[Guest]

hi there,
i have a following method which returns array of object.

public myresult[] getSearch(string searchterm)
{
object[] res = ....some external method call
return ((myresult[]) (res[0]));
}

so my question is... how do i consume the above method? can i do the
following?
myresult[] res = getSearch("hello");

thanks...a

Sure... or you could do a foreach on the item collection...

Yes. Did you try it before posting? What went wrong?

thanks bunch.
in fact, i tried it and it compiled and ran fine. however, the problem is
that res is null after making a call to getSearch() (which is a web service)
and i was not sure if i was doing it wrong or it is just supposed to be null.

btw, if i were to loop through this array, is it the correct syntax?

foreach (myresult x in res)
{
}

-a

oh... all looks good now. it was just because the web service really did not
return any matches.
thanks all...a

Well, to check whether that kind of thing is valid or not, I'd suggest
trying it in a simpler environment first.

Yes.
