If it was me, I'd use generics ...
List<Person> myPeople = new List<Person>();
myPeople.Add(new Person("George", "Washington");
Moreover, if you're looking to load up several names, you could ...
public class Persons {
List<Person> mPerson = new List<Person>();
public Persons(params string[] Name) {
for (int n = 0; n < (Name.Length - 2); n += 3) {
mPerson.Add(new Person(Name[n], Name[n + 1], Name[n +
2]));
}
}
public Person this[int Index] { get { return mPerson
[Index]; } }
public int Count { get { return mPerson.Count; } }
}
...
Persons mPersons = new Persons("Fred", "", "Flintstone", "Barney", "",
"Rubble");
Obviously allowing for middle names.
Accessing the array would then be something like ...
for (int n = 0; n < mPersons.Count; n++) {
ListViewItem Item = lv.Items.Add("");
Item.SubItems.Add(mPersons[n].First);
Item.SubItems.Add(mPersons[n].Middle);
Item.SubItems.Add(mPersons[n].Last);
}
