How to set array length in c# dynamically

Question

I am still new to C# and I\'ve been struggling with various issues on arrays. I\'ve got an array of metadata objects (name value pairs) and I would like to know how to creat

Answer 1

InputProperty[] ip = new InputProperty[nvPairs.Length]; 

Or, you can use a list like so:

List list = new List();
InputProperty ip = new (..);
list.Add(ip);
update.items = list.ToArray();

Another thing I'd like to point out, in C# you can delcare your int variable use in a for loop right inside the loop:

for(int i = 0; i

And just because I'm in the mood, here's a cleaner way to do this method IMO:

private Update BuildMetaData(MetaData[] nvPairs)
{
        Update update = new Update();
        var ip = new List();

        foreach(var nvPair in nvPairs)
        {
            if (nvPair == null) break;
            var inputProp = new InputProperty
            {
               Name = "udf:" + nvPair.Name,
               Val = nvPair.Value
            };
            ip.Add(inputProp);
        }
        update.Items = ip.ToArray();
        return update;
}
