The name does not exist in the class or namespace?

[travisowens]

In the following little piece of code I get what appears to be a simple error at users in my for loop, but I don't see why. It is The name 'users' does not exist in the class or namespace. I get the error underline at user in the for loop. Obviously the IF(){} part is causing the problem but I don't see why this is a scope problem when dr[] = users[]; get assigned correctly.

 

Code:

if ( txtUserToImport.Text == "Travis" )

{

string[] users = {"1","Travis","M","Doe","System Architect","Dept","Admin"};

}

else if ( txtUserToImport.Text == "David" )

{

string[] users = {"2","David","L","Doe","Records Mngt Admin","ONPD","Admin"};

}

else

{

string[] users = {"3","John","H","Doe","Title","Dept","Guest"};

}

 

for (int i = 0; i < 7; i++)

{

dr = users;

}

it's because you have " users " declared within the if statement, you need it declared outside it. eg:

string[] users; /// like this.

if ( txtUserToImport.Text == "Travis" )
{
users = {"1","Travis","M","Doe","System Architect","Dept","Admin"};
}
else if ( txtUserToImport.Text == "David" )
{
users = {"2","David","L","Doe","Records Mngt Admin","ONPD","Admin"};
}
else
{
users = {"3","John","H","Doe","Title","Dept","Guest"};
}

for (int i = 0; i < 7; i++) 
{
dr[i] = users[i];
}

Ahh, ok it's fixed. I just put this before my IF block

 

string[] users = new string[7];

 

and in my IF block I changed it to

 

users = new string[]{"1","foo","M","bar","blah","text","Admin"};
