C#, API - Multidimensional arrays

Question

I have an unmanaged API function and below mentioned is it's equivalent c# code...

Myfunction(unit handle, int index, out bool flag,out int value, out string name);

Here the variable index varies from 0 to 59. I am able to fetch the data individually. I mean I can pass value to the variable index from a TextBox and I am getting the corresponding outputs. But how to collect the values in an array fashion. Each time I don't want to give index input I simply want to display all the values in a ListBox... How to achieve this?

Before we start, this is not a multidimensional array. This is a simple linear array with one index.

Create a struct to hold the values for one item:

struct MyItem { bool flag; int value; string name; }

Then have a function return an array of these:

MyItem[] GetItems() { MyItem[] result = new MyItem[ItemCount]; // Populate result return result; }

Alternatively you might well store the data in a generic collection like List<MyItem>. Fundamentally the key is to creat a structure that can contain a single item, and then operate on collections of items.

Ok understood. I have created a structure. Can you please let me understand how to call this into my function. Am not getting the result as I did some mistake. I have written like this listBox1.items.add(getitems());
You are going to have to write bespoke code to populate the list box. It's not going to understand your struct.
