    <p>Hope someone can help. I have created a variable length array that will accept several name inputs. I now want to sort the array in alphabetical order and return that to the console screen.</p> <p>I thought that Array.Sort(names); would do this for me but I am getting an exception thrown. I have been looking at notes, examples and on-line but nothing seems to match what I am doing.</p> <p>I have done the below so far. I am close to tearing my hair out here! PS I have been trying to figure this out for hours and I am 30+ years old trying to learn myself, so please don't just say "Do your homework" I have tried to resolve this and can not so I need someone to explain where I am going wrong. It is a Sunday and I am trying to do extra work and have no notes to cover this exactly</p> <pre><code>using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Text; namespace Student_Array { class Program { struct Student { public string Name; } static void Main(string[] args) { int numberOfStudents; Student[] names; string input; Console.WriteLine("How many students are there?"); input = Console.ReadLine(); numberOfStudents = int.Parse(input); names = new Student[numberOfStudents]; for (int i = 0; i &lt; names.Length; i++) { Student s; Console.WriteLine("Please enter student {0}'s name", (i + 1)); s.Name = Console.ReadLine(); names[i] = s; } ***Array.Sort&lt;Student&gt;(names);*** for (int i = 0; i &lt; names.Length; i++) { Console.WriteLine(names[i].Name); } } } } </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
