Index was outside the bounds of the array...?

[nickmollberg]

This loop:

 for(int counter=0; counter <= tempArray.Length;counter++)
				{
				try
				 {
					 fdp.Parse( tempArray[counter], FormTypeSys, SectionSys, ScreenSys, QSys );
				 }
				catch( SqlException sqx )
				 {
					 throw new FormDesignParserException( "Error executing SQL: " + sqx.Message + " :: " + sqx.StackTrace );
				 }
				}

Gives me this error:

An unhandled exception of type 'System.IndexOutOfRangeException' occurred in whileStatement.exe

Additional information: Index was outside the bounds of the array.


It is looking througha textbox, parsing the contents out one line at a time... it seems to crash wehn it gets to the end of the textbox.

How can I stop it before this happens?

Modify the first line <= ----> <

for(int counter=0; counter < tempArray.Length;counter++)

Or you could do this ...

int counter=0; counter <= tempArray.GetUpperBound(0);counter++

Both answers provided are correct, the difference is the zero based index. If tempArray has 4 values, they're 0, 1, 2, and 3. tempArray.Length returns 4 - one greater than the index. tempArray.GetUpperBound(0) returns the index value, not the count.
