C# method for passing a list to separate string values

Question

I have a List object.

How can I pass these list values to separate strings? The strings always occur in the same position as follows:

[0] = time
[1] = location
[2] = note

So I need a time, location, and note string for these values.

driver.location = log.event_data[1];

It says cannot implicitly convert to string.

Would you please clarify more your question? and it it's possible can u put some code exampl? — Ahmed Magdy

I'm still not sure what you want to do. I'm reading it for the 10th time now. — Adriano Carneiro

Guys, you're all very smart and everything, but I think we are all just guessing here :) — Adriano Carneiro

looks like you need to .ToString() the values assuming the list is not generic or contains objects. — juharr

Your question is unclear but it seems like the answer is

string time = list[0];
string location = list[1];
string note = list[2];

assuming that your "list" is a List<string> named list.

He could also look at the ToArray() method of List<> msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb298736.aspx

@Justin why would you do that when it already has an Item property with an index?

If your list is called 'list' then you can just do the following

string time = list[0];
string location = list[1];
string note = list[2];

Do you want to use classes or structures? Here's an example:

public class SomeClass {
     public string Time { get; set; }
     public string Location { get; set; }
     public string Note { get; set; }
}

Though you probably shouldn't use the string type to store these values, either.

If this wasn't what you meant, can you please rephrase a bit?

If they always appear in the same location, you should be able to use the SubString() function to parse the data out, assuming it's all in one string. Is it an array? a string, or what?
