Hello world! I'm talking about arrays of objects in C sharp.

I have a program with

5 labels on it.

And I didn't name them. I just left them label1 label2, even though

I've said

Never do that, but in this instance the labels don't really have any particular meaning other than just being there.

For each one of them I went into the properties window

Selected a different font for each one.

And that's one of the easiest ways.

to select a font and make a list of them would be to just select one for each label. When I run the program there is an array of

Wishes.

An array of fonts, and an array of colors.

And using the timer,

We cycle through each of the labels and randomly select one of the wishes from a string array,

One of the fonts from the array of Fonts, and a color from the array of colors.

Let's take a look at the code.

And see what we have here. I've declared a string array called myWishes

Which has four items in it.

And.

Colors has colors has 6 colors.

And I left space for five Fonts, but I didn't give it any initial values just the size and we set our random number seed by declaring random.

IN form load

I use a for each loop

to go through all of the labels

In this.controls, that's the form.

And for each

Label, I add the font to the array.

The length of wishes is less than the number of labels.

So I can't just say lbl.text equals my wishes sub position.

What I do is find the remainder

when we divide

Position by myWishes.Length

And the remainder will always give you a number from 0 to 1 less than that and then I increment position so that I can use that as the index to fonts.

Every time the timer goes off

I also Loop through each of the labels on the form,

And I pick a random number from 0

to

myWishes.Length - 1.

And then set the text to my wishes

With the subscript r,  or as I say, my wishes sub r: myWishes[r]

And then r is another random number.

From zero

up to, but not including the length of the fonts.

And I set that as the font of the label and then r is another random number to get the color, and we change the forecolor of that color.

That's it: I have arrays of objects: I have strings, I have colors, I have fonts.
