C# referencing array element by index not working

Please help with accessing array element by index in C#. I have an array of services we offer and I want at the click of a button somewhere to accumulate totals per type of service. I have declared an array of service totals and a simple method to accumulate totals
Here is the skeleton of my code:

C#

private int[] serviceTotals = new int[10];  

 public void AccumulateTotals()
 int indexInteger=0;
 int serviceCount +=1;
 ServiceTotals[indexInteger]+=serviceCount;

The problem is somewhere else in the program I call the the method & use this code:

C#

AccummulateTotals()

Textbox1.Text = serviceTotals[0].ToString //for the first item in the array

I get an error: "Cannot apply indexing with[] to an expression of type 'int'
What am I doing wrong??

Have you defined serviceTotals more than once?
It sounds like to have a definition (probably a local one) that is defined as an int.

You also need to add the () on ToString.

I think you are assigning and declaring in a single statement here. "int serviceCount +=1;". Make them separate then you will get the solution.

Solution 1

C# is case sensitive. ServiceTotals is not the same as serviceTotals.

Try this :

public int[] serviceTotals = new int[10];

to fill the array :

C#

int serviceCount =1;
         for (int i = 0; i < serviceTotals.Count(); i++)
         {
             serviceTotals[i] = serviceCount;
             serviceCount++;
         }

to call the first item :

MessageBox.Show(serviceTotals[0].ToString());

Solution 2

it must work unless you're pointing to a different variable with different type! Case sensitivity may be the issue.
