I don't think the title explains my problem quite well, but.... What I'm having problems with is this:
I have a class named Person.cs:
class Person : Object
{
protected Name m_personName;
protected string m_state;
protected string m_zipCode;
protected string m_PhoneNumber;
protected string m_address;
protected string m_age;
public Person()
{
m_personName = new Name();
m_state = "New Jersey";
m_zipCode = "08731";
m_PhoneNumber = "(609)-255-1122";
m_address = "316 Bridge Drive";
m_age = "30";
}
public Person(string firstName,
string lastName,
string state,
string zipCode,
string phoneNumber,
string address,
string age)
{
m_personName = new Name(firstName, lastName);
m_state = state;
m_zipCode = zipCode;
m_PhoneNumber = phoneNumber;
m_address = address;
m_age = age;
}
public void setName(string firstName, string lastName)
{
m_personName.setFirstName(firstName);
m_personName.setLastName(lastName);
}
public void setName(Name name)
{
m_personName = name;
}
public Name getName()
{
return m_personName;
}
public void setAddress(string address)
{
m_address = address;
}
public string getAddress()
{
return m_address;
}
public void setPhoneNumber(string phoneNumber)
{
m_PhoneNumber = phoneNumber;
}
public string getPhoneNumber()
{
return m_PhoneNumber;
}
public void setState(string state)
{
m_state = state;
}
public string getState()
{
return m_state;
}
public void setZipCode(string ZipCode)
{
m_zipCode = ZipCode;
}
public string getZipCode()
{
return m_zipCode;
}
public void setAge(string age)
{
m_age = age;
}
public string getAge()
{
return m_age;
}
public bool CompareTo(Person p)
{
if(this.getName() == p.getName() &&
this.getAddress() == p.getAddress() &&
this.getAge() == p.getAge() &&
this.getState() == p.getState() &&
this.getPhoneNumber() == p.getPhoneNumber() &&
this.getZipCode() == p.getZipCode())
{
return true;
}
else
{
return false;
}
}
}
I also have a class named - fittingly - Name.cs
class Name
{
protected string FirstName;
protected string LastName;
public Name()
{
FirstName = "";
LastName = "";
}
public Name(string firstName, string lastName)
{
FirstName = firstName;
LastName = lastName;
}
public void setFirstName(string fName)
{
FirstName = fName;
}
public String getFirstName()
{
return FirstName;
}
public void setLastName(string lName)
{
LastName = lName;
}
public string getLastName()
{
return LastName;
}
}
Now I have a List<Person> variable used to add a new person to the array that is List<Person>, the entry is added to the array, that's not the problem, the problem is searching the array for a specific value:
String firstName = TBFirstNameSearch.Text;
String lastName = TBLastNameSearch.Text;
String Age = TBAgeSearch.Text;
String Address = TBAddressSearch.Text;
String State = TBStateSearch.Text;
String PhoneNumber = TBPhoneNumberSearch.Text;
String ZipCode = TBZipCodeSearch.Text;
Person pSearch = new Person(firstName, lastName, State, ZipCode, PhoneNumber, Address, Age);
if (m_people.Count > 0)
{
MessageBox.Show("people count: " + m_people.Count);
for (int i = 0; i < m_people.Count; i++)
{
if(pSearch.getName().getFirstName() == m_people[i].getName().getFirstName() &&
pSearch.getName().getLastName() == m_people[i].getName().getLastName() &&
pSearch.getAge() == m_people[i].getAge() &&
pSearch.getAddress() == m_people[i].getAddress() &&
pSearch.getState() == m_people[i].getState() &&
pSearch.getZipCode() == m_people[i].getZipCode() &&
pSearch.getPhoneNumber() == m_people[i].getPhoneNumber())
{
Person p = m_people[i];
String person = "";
person += "First Name: " + p.getName().getFirstName() + "\n"
+ "Last Name: " + p.getName().getLastName() + "\n"
+ "Age: " + p.getAge() + "\n"
+ "Address: " + p.getAddress() + "\n"
+ "State: " + p.getState() + "\n"
+ "Phone Number: " + p.getPhoneNumber() + "\n"
+ "Zip Code: " + p.getZipCode() + "\n";
MessageBox.Show(person, "Found", MessageBoxButtons.OK);
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("Could not find entry");
}
}
TBFirstNameSearch.Text = "";
TBLastNameSearch.Text = "";
TBAgeSearch.Text = "";
TBZipCodeSearch.Text = "";
TBAddressSearch.Text = "";
TBStateSearch.Text = "";
TBPhoneNumberSearch.Text = "";
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("There's nothing in the list. Size: " + m_people.Count);
}
This is inside of button click event. Basically, after I add a new entry to the array, I search the list for that same item but it isn't found. The item is added, as I said. One quick print of the list/array. Getting the count of the list/array shows a number of 1 meaning the entry has been added. If you do a for-loop of the list / array, it'll print all entries. Searching is......not working. Please let me know how to fix this. This is from a simple address book GUI I decided to make since it's never a bad thing to know more than one language.
EDIT: Sorry, went on a rant there....
