Bill, Thanks for your reply; I've tried this syntax and unfortunately it is not working w/ classes. (It is fine to declare integer arrays), but since I want to pass a listview reference, I get an error saying that there is no way to convert a ListView to CMyClass.
Right now this is what I do: m_oMyObjs = new CMyClass[2]; // create array of objects m_oMyObjs[0] = new CMyClass ( lvP1 ); m_oMyObjs[1] = new CMyClass ( lvP2 ); This is not the solution I'm looking for but as I'm also leaning C#, this will work for now. Thanks again, Gyorgy -----Original Message----- From: dotnet discussion [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Bill Schmidt Sent: Saturday, May 18, 2002 14:43 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: How to initialize object arrays in C#? Gyorgy, I'm new to C#, but I believe that the proper syntax is: m_oMyObjs = new CMyClass[] {lvP1, lvP2}; just as for an array of int or char. This syntax uses the single-parameter constructor that you included in your example class definition. The number of elements in the array is determined by the number of elements in the initialization list.
