Are you talking about a structure containing an array or an array of structures? Are the two forms in the same Visual Studio solution?

two forms are in same visual studio solution..

struct test

{
public string name;

public int code;


}

test[] array = new test[200];

i want to pass this 'array' from form1 to form2..

and is it possible to convert this 'array' to byte array??


Create a new project, calling it, say, DataStructures. Then declare, within the DataStructures namespace, the following two classes.


C#
// TestStruct.cs

namespace DataStructures
    {

    // ********************************************** class TestStruct

    public class TestStruct
        {

        public struct Test_Struct
            {
            public string name;
            public int code;
            };

         } // class TestStruct

     } // namespace DataStructures


and


C#
// TestArray.cs 

namespace DataStructures
    {
    
    // *********************************************** class TestArray
    
    public class TestArray
        {
        
        public static TestStruct.Test_Struct [ ] test_structs = 
                                  new TestStruct.Test_Struct [ 200 ];

        } // class TestArray

     } // namespace DataStructures


Now in the two forms, use DataStructures as follows. Note that the example is Form1; Form2 code is the same.


C#
// Form1.cs

using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace ArrayOfStructs
    {
    
    // *************************************************** class Form1
    
    public partial class Form1 : Form
        {
        
        // ***************************************************** Form1
        
        public Form1 ( )
            {
            
            InitializeComponent ( );
            
            for ( int i = 0; 
                 ( i < DataStructures.TestArray.test_structs.Length );
                 i++ )
                {
                
                }
            }

        } // class Form1

    } // namespace ArrayOfStructs


Hope that helps.

but icant declare class teststruct.when i try to declare this it will cause a design error..error is as follows ..The class Form1 can be designed, but is not the first class in the file. Visual Studio requires that designers use the first class in the file. Move the class code so that it is the first class in the file and try loading the designer again.

i want to convert this structure to byte array..how it possible??i tried one code but it give an error that Type 'structuretest.Form1+test[]' cannot be marshaled as an unmanaged structure; no meaningful size or offset can be computed.

Did you rate my solution 1?
There are several ways. For instance you could make it a public property of the first form.
