More different items in one list

marcel ethan 1557 17-Dec-2013

I want to make a list with different items or what I should call it. I mean for example.

public class form1                                                                                                                                            
{
    public List<string> information = new List<string>();
}
And I want It to contain information from textboxes with Id, name and phonenumber like this:
private void btnForm_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    Form2 Form1= new Form2();
    Form1.Show();
    class Form2a = new Form2();
    a.information.Add(txtId.Text);
    a.information.Add(txtName.Text);
    a.information.Add(txtPhonenumber.Text);
}

Then it will be filled with what we can call different customers who have different Id, names and phonenumbers.

Then I want to get the information to another form.

Can someone please help me or give me tips on how?

Hi Marcel,

You should group that information using a class then create and add instances of that class to your list. Below is an example class and some other code you may find helpful.

public class PersonInfo
{
     public string Name;
     public string Id;
     public string phoneNumber;
}
List<PersonInfo> persons = new List<PersonInfo>();
// after reading values
persons.Add(new PersonInfo(txtName.Text, txtId.Text, txtPhoneNumber.Text));
// if you don't have a constructor like that defined;
personse.Add(new PersonsInfo {
                    Name = txtName.Text;
                    Id = txtId.Text;
                    PhoneNumber = txtPhoneNumber.Text;
             });
// get a user by Id
PersonInfo p = persons.Where(x => x.Id == "that other Id").FirstOrDefault();
if (p != null)
   // we found our person
