What is indexer?

Indexers can be used to handle an object as if it was an array. Code wise, an indexer looks alot like a property. Here is an example of a class that defines an indexer: class SomeClass { private string[] someData = new string[3]; //The Indexer public string this [int index] { get { return data[index]; } set { data[index] = value; } } } Here is an example of a console client using the indexer of our class above. class ConsoleClient { public static void Main() { SomeClass x = new SomeClass(); x[0] = "Hello"; x[1] = "World"; x[2] = "23445"; Console.WriteLine("Index value at 0 = " + x[0]); } } Hope this helps, Dom
