I've just found out that this works:
int[,] numbers = new int[,] { { 11, 21, 31 }, { 12, 22, 32 }, { 13, 23, 33 }, { 14, 24, 34 }, { 15, 25, 35 }, { 16, 26, 36 }, { 17, 27, 37 }, { 18, 28, 38 } };
foreach (int i in numbers)
{
Console.WriteLine(i);
}
Am I alone in thinking that's really nasty and unobvious?

I know that works, but I don't like it.

I think I see the problem - you've got a redundant new int[,] in there! 
int[,] numbers = { { 11, 21, 31 }, { 12, 22, 32 }, { 13, 23, 33 }, { 14, 24, 34 }, { 15, 25, 35 }, { 16, 26, 36 }, { 17, 27, 37 }, { 18, 28, 38 } };

If you gave me that code as an answer, I would give you the first line in your signature as a response

Probably not, I bet a few others agree with you.
I personally don't find it ugly, specially with better formatting it can be quite readable.

The number 33 ticks me off a little bit, but other than that the line looks fine.

There is a phobia for that.

Wow, I like it, it is wonderful Yes, it is a bit unnatural.
By the way, for I while I thought it was Lua. However Lua output would have had more respect for the data structure.

A compiler error would have been nice...

?! On my machine it runs and does exactly what expected...
What do you want a compiler error for?!?!

To stop people doing it...if you declare something as a 2D array, then being able to use it as a 1D array is just...nasty...and it opens all sorts of "future behaviour" problems. Although MSDN does say "You can do this"[^] it doesn't lay down in stone the order in which such elements will be processed - which means that it could chanmge in future .NET releases, or be different between .NET and Mono for example.
It's just a trick - not something you should do in "real" code.

There is all sorts of stuff like that though.
I would say that younger developers get the notion that once they 'learn' a new idiom that they start looking for places where it can be applied without any thought as to the maintenance cost or real applicability.
Of course I have seen developers into at least their late 30s doing that as well. And defend the usage as ideal based on rationalizations that it requires fewer lines and that real developers should understand that code anyways. Never seen a rationalization that actually supported delivering code though.

Had it been a jagged array int[][] numbers = { new int[] { 11, 21, 31 }, new int[] { 12, 22, 32 }...
I would expect and is getting an error.

I agree - but the code does what it says (if you get me) i.e. for each integer in the collection of numbers ... It's sort of spookily nice.

programming questions need to get addressed to Christan Grausss.
However, yes it looks crap - i recommend you quit writing code like that

What is the (missing) problem exactly?
You might not be alone, but this doesn't steer any emotion other than indifference to me...

Just needs more line feeds is all.
At least it doesn't use var.

Hi Peter,
Please do not post programming questions in The Lounge. Use the Q/A Section[^].
Also please use the "code" feature (from the toolbar) for your code, so that it can be readable.
And do not cross-post, be patient and someone will answer your question. You cannot ask the same question at multiple places.

What part of "if you need specific help please use the programming forums." did you assume did not apply to you?
