I don't don't really know how, this is my half attempt on it, its oboiusly doesn't work

C#

int addnumber = 0;
       while (addnumber < Properties.Settings.Default.DatesEventNames.Count)
       {
           addnumber = addnumber + 1;
               DateTime yourDateTime = DateTime.ParseExact(item, "ddMMyyyy", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
       }

Lets say I have a string collection with this in it

hi<br />
hi2<br />
hi3<br />
hi4

and i just want to see h3 in my textbox, and not really all of them, I want to be able to read the line by the line number not

CSS

if(stringcollection.contains(h3)
{
}

so I dont want the contains string method, I want the method that it kinda like

C#

In (stringcollection.linenumber == 3)
{
textbox.text = the string's text on that line number
}

and that would be "hi3". can anyone please help me out with this?

Solution 1

You have a collection, you can access it by index. myStringCollection[3]. Also, you can use a dictionary if you want to use a non sequential index to access an item
