Void/function on a class which is an array

[Oyvind Eriksen]

Hello.
Look at the code below.
I'm trying to create a function/void for when a class is declared as an
array.
Is it possible? If so, how?

Regards,

public class Main
{
SomeClass[] array = SomeClass[10];
array.MyVoid(); <--- how do I create this void?
}
public class SomeClass
{

}

No, you can't do that. You could create a static method in SomeClass
which takes a SomeClass[] as a parameter though.

The next release of C# (3.0) will include a new feature called
"extension methods" that will let you add new method to existing types.
However, I'm not sure if this will include array types, if not then
you could probably add your method to the Array base class. Either
way, this probably isn't an ideal solution, and you might be better off
passing your array as a parameter to another method.

I see. It would be practical though...
But a static method with SomeClass[] would solve the problem.
Or create a collection?
