C#: PointF() Array Initializer

I need to hard code an array of points in my C# program. The C-style initializer did not work.

PointF[] points = new PointF{
    /* what goes here? */
};

How is it done?

From stackoverflow

• You need to instantiate each PointF with new.

  Something like

  Pointf[] points = { new PointF(0,0), new PointF(1,1), etc...

  Syntax may not be 100% here... I'm reaching back to when I last had to do it years ago.

• Like this:

  PointF[] points = new PointF[]{
      new PointF(0,0), new PointF(1,1)
  };
  

  In c# 3.0 you can write it even shorter:

  PointF[] points = {
      new PointF(0,0), new PointF(1,1)
  };
  

  update Guffa pointed out that I was to short with the var points, it's indeed not possible to "implicitly typed variable with an array initializer".

  Vulcan Eager : And we don't even need the size! Just the brackets!!

  Davy Landman : I've checked it in the snippet compiler and changed my answer.

  Guffa : No, you can't use an implicitly typed variable with an array initializer.

• PointF[] points = new PointF[]
  {
      new PointF( 1.0f, 1.0f),
      new PointF( 5.0f, 5.0f)
  };
  

• For C# 3:

  PointF[] points = {
     new PointF(1f, 1f),
     new PointF(2f, 2f)
  };
  

  For C# 2 (and 1):

  PointF[] points = new PointF[] {
     new PointF(1f, 1f),
     new PointF(2f, 2f)
  };
  

  Vulcan Eager : The 2.0 example is incorrect.

  Guffa : If you mean the brackets, then I edited the post before your comment...

• how can I enycrpt my data by c#

  Guffa : I think that you meant to ask a question, not answer one. Also, you should be a bit more specific in your question.
