Problem translating VB code to C# 1

[SteveL714]

I'm translating an old VB routine to C#. In VB I had the following code sequence

Dim SearchView AS New DataView(CurrentSchedule.Tables(0))
SearchView.Sort = "shiftgroup,worker_id"
SearchView.RowFilter = "worker_id <> 0"
Dim keys(1) as Object
...
' Set lookup values for this record.
keys(0) = nThisShiftGroup
keys(1) = nWorkerId

I put the VB code thru an on-line translator and this is what came back

DataView SearchView = new DataView(CurrentSchedule.Tables[0]);
SearchView.Sort = "shiftgroup,worker_id";
SearchView.RowFilter = "worker_id <> 0";
object[,] keys = null;
...
//  Set lookup values for this record.
keys(0) = nThisShiftGroup;
keys(1) = nWorkerId;

The C# code compiles without error, but when it runs as soon as it executes the "keys(0) = nThisShiftGroup;" line it throws the following error:

Object reference not set to an instance of an object

What am I not doing?

This:

object[,] keys = null;

YOu obviously want it two-dimensional, so try this instead:

object[] keys = new object[2];

Good luck!

Which on-line translator were you using?

And which one has anybody else here used and can recommend?
