“is field , used type” error 2 answers

i trying create array of lists of structs. initialise list of structs so:

list<mystruct> mydata = new list<mystruct>();

but when seek create array (example beingness array 1 element), ie

list<mystruct>[] mydata = new list<mystruct>[1]; mydata[0] = new list<mystruct>();

i error saying

mydata field beingness treated type.

i've looked @ reply don't understand difference is: answer

is there fundamental difference how c# treats structs, compared integers?

thanks help.

included clarity, code in full:

namespace my_project { using tradingtechnologies.ttapi; public partial class form1 : form { list<timeandsalesdata>[] mydata = new list<timeandsalesdata>[10]; //here believe making mistake: mydata[1] = new list<timeandsalesdata>(); //i error mydata field beingness used type. public form1() { initializecomponent(); } } } namespace tradingtechnologies.ttapi { // summary: // represents single trade transaction instrument public struct timeandsalesdata { public timeandsalesdata(instrument instrument, bool isoverthecounter, cost tradeprice, quantity tradequantity, tradedirection direction, datetime timestamp); // summary: // gets side trade public tradedirection direction { get; } // // summary: // gets instrument associated trade transaction public instrument instrument { get; } // // summary: // gets whether trade over-the-counter (otc) public bool isoverthecounter { get; } // // summary: // gets time trade occurred public datetime timestamp { get; } // // summary: // gets cost @ trade occurred public cost tradeprice { get; } // // summary: // gets quantity traded in trade transaction public quantity tradequantity { get; } } }

you have code floating around within class definition. needs within of method or constructor of sort:

public partial class form1 : system.windows.forms.form { public form1() { initializecomponent(); list<timeandsalesdata>[] mydata = new list<timeandsalesdata>[10]; mydata[1] = new list<timeandsalesdata>(); } }

if want mydata field , not local variable, need just declare @ top level of class, initialize in constructor/method.
