2 dimension arrays

[Guest]

Hi,

I have an array of 50 rows and 2 columns that I want to make available to a
user. As he goes thru the system, he will be updating and editing the array.
This is unique to each user in the session.

eg. public string[,] marked = new String[50][2].

How do you suggest I do it ? Do I declare it as global variable, or is it
possible to put it as a session variable?

TIA. Cheers.
Andrew.

You will *need* to put in in Session: a "global variable" (static member of some class)
is the same for *all* users of your site (the single webapp serves multiple users).
If you want to retain user-specific data in server-memory, you have to
user Session. (other options: client side using ViewState or hidden inputs
or in a database under a user-specific key)

Thanks for your reply.
How do I declare an array as a session variable ?
I tried:

int [] marked = new int [50];
Session["marked[0] "] = 2;

I got a syntax error.

untested code:

--------------
string[,] marked = (string[,])Session["marked"];

if (marked == null)
{
// nothing yet in session, so create it
marked = new string[50][2];
Session["marked"] = marked;
}

// use it
marked[12, 1] = "test";
-------------

Note: as you have a *reference* to this array, there is really only one array
so a change to 'marked' will "also update" the array "stored in the Session"
(to phrase it loosely). No need to "put the changed array back in the Session".
