Creating Objects

Question

Hi all I'm still very new with C# and I have just started to get my head round objects. What I would like to know is how would I program a way of making any number of objects and give each object a name like Person_1 and Person_2. Is this even possible? I have tried the following but it doesn't work: for (int i = 0; i { Player (Player_ + i) = new Player(); } Is there a better way to go about doing this? The big picture (if its any use) is my program reading from a text file using streamreader and creating an object every 6 lines (my object has 6 parameters). There will be a maximum of around 100 objects so I really would like a much more efficient way of creating these objects. Many Thanks and Kind Regards James Webb P.S. Please remember I'm a beginner try to keep it as simple as possible and explain as much as you can it would be very much appreciated!

It sounds like you just need an indexed collection - either an Array if you know in advance how many elements there are going to be or a List if you're not sure. For example: // array int count = 100; Player[] players = new Player[count]; // 100 elements from 0 to 99 for (int i = 0; i { players[i] = new Player(); // suppose the Player class has a Name property players[i].Name = Player_ + (i + 1); } // or list List players = new List (); for (int i = 0; i { Player player = new Player(); player.Name = Player_ + i; players.Add(player); } If you want to access say the 50th Player object you can then do in either case: Player Player_50 = players[49];
