Passing Array from a method

You'll need to declare the array outside the foreach statement in order to return it.

However, unless you're only wanting to return the char array for the final element of the procs array, it appears that you need to declare a jagged 2D array of char and return that:

        public char[][] passprocedures()

        {

            con.Open();

            

            string[] procs =

            {

            "Today",

            "Open",

            "Resolved",

            "Pending",

            "Closed"

         

            };

            char[][] count = new char[procs.Length][];

'

            for(int i = 0; i < procs.Length; i++) // use 'for' as need to know array index

            {

                string value = procs[i];                             

                cmd = new SqlCommand(value, con);

                cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;

                cmd.CommandText = value;

                cmd.Parameters.Add("@para", SqlDbType.NVarChar).Value = User.Identity.Name;

                fcount[i] = cmd.ExecuteScalar().ToString().ToCharArray();                 

            }

            con.Close(); // clode connection before returning

            return fcount;           

        }
