Create multiple instances of a class in a loop

mgroesink

In C# I create a class and from within a form I want to create multiple instances of that class in a loop. Suppose the name of the class is Emp. I know this doesn't work, but what is the way to fix this? for (int x=0 ; x<10 ; x++) { Emp "Emp" + x.ToString(x) = new Emp() } The problem is that I cannot use a string as above, but how do I give all of the new objects a unique name? And how can I access the newly created objects? Anyone there to help me? Thanks in advance. Marcel Roesink

How can you run each instance of the class in its own thread? All instances must run at the same time.

When using ArrayList you are forced to cast the objects when retrieveing them from the ArrayList wich can result in very ugly code and misscasts. I suggest (if you know how many classes are needed) to stick with an regular array. Emp[] emp = new Emp[10]; for(int i = 0; i < emp.Length; i++) { emp[i] = new Emp(); }

There are several ways. I would use an ArrayList (under Collection namespace). /********************************************************/ ArrayList MyObjectCollection = new ArrayList(); for (x=0;x<10;x++) { MyObject newObject = new MyObject(); MyObjectCollection.Add(newObject); } /********************************************************/ You cab access the object as in an array (Actualy it is an array)- there is also a way to make it a hashtable - search in google.
