索引器允许类或结构的实例按照与数组相同的方式进行索引。索引器类似于属性,不同之处在于它们的访问器采用参数。
在下面的示例中,定义了一个泛型类,并为其提供了简单的get和set访问器方法:
class SampleCollection<T>
{
private T[] arr = new T[100];
public T this[int i]
{
get
{
return arr[i];
}
set
{
arr[i] = value;
}
}
}
// This class shows how client code uses the indexer
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
SampleCollection<string> stringCollection = new SampleCollection<string>();
stringCollection[0] = "Hello, World";
System.Console.WriteLine(stringCollection[0]);
}
}
{
private T[] arr = new T[100];
public T this[int i]
{
get
{
return arr[i];
}
set
{
arr[i] = value;
}
}
}
// This class shows how client code uses the indexer
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
SampleCollection<string> stringCollection = new SampleCollection<string>();
stringCollection[0] = "Hello, World";
System.Console.WriteLine(stringCollection[0]);
}
}
索引器允许您按照处理数组的方式索引类、结构或接口。
要声明类或结构上的索引器,请使用this关键字:
public int this[int index] // Indexer declaration
{
// get and set accessors
}
{
// get and set accessors
}
C# 并不将索引类型限制为整数。如对索引器使用字符串可能是有用的。通过搜索集合内的字符串并返回相应的值,可以实现此类的索引器。由于访问器可被重载,字符串和整数版本可以共存。
例:声明了存储星期几的类。声明了一个get访问器,它接受字符串,并返回相应的整数
// Using a string as an indexer value
class DayCollection
{
string[] days = { "Sun", "Mon", "Tues", "Wed", "Thurs", "Fri", "Sat" };
// This method finds the day or returns -1
private int GetDay(string testDay)
{
int i = 0;
foreach (string day in days)
{
if (day == testDay)
{
return i;
}
i++;
}
return -1;
}
// The get accessor returns an integer for a given string
public int this[string day]
{
get
{
return (GetDay(day));
}
}
}
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
DayCollection week = new DayCollection();
System.Console.WriteLine(week["Fri"]);
System.Console.WriteLine(week["Made-up Day"]);
}
}
class DayCollection
{
string[] days = { "Sun", "Mon", "Tues", "Wed", "Thurs", "Fri", "Sat" };
// This method finds the day or returns -1
private int GetDay(string testDay)
{
int i = 0;
foreach (string day in days)
{
if (day == testDay)
{
return i;
}
i++;
}
return -1;
}
// The get accessor returns an integer for a given string
public int this[string day]
{
get
{
return (GetDay(day));
}
}
}
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
DayCollection week = new DayCollection();
System.Console.WriteLine(week["Fri"]);
System.Console.WriteLine(week["Made-up Day"]);
}
}
