Thread: c# array

I am building a telnet server and I want to no how to make an array. This array needs to include a socket, streamreader, streamwriter, and the ipaddress, is this possible?

Make a class with the information you needed and then add it to a list. Otherwise to make a new array of your class it would be something like:

Code:

yourClass[] Something = new yourClass[SIZE]();

Might I suggest you learn the basics of the C# language before you try to write a server?

Rags is correct. You need to have at least a basic understanding of OOP.

From the criteria you've listed, I would make an object such as:

Code:

class UserObject
{
    public Socket socket;
    public IPAddress ip;
    public StreamReader reader;
    public StreamWriter writer;

    public UserObject() { }

    public UserObject(Socket socket)
    {
        this.socket = socket;
        this.ip = ((IPEndPoint)socket.RemoteEndPoint).Address;
        this.reader = new StreamReader(new NetworkStream(socket));
        this.writer = new StreamWriter(new NetworkStream(socket));
    }
}

Once you've created an object you're happy with, you could either use an ArrayList, or even better would be a List<T> since all the array elements will be the same object type:

Code:

List<UserObject> my_users = new List<UserObject>();
