What is the declaration for Lights ?

We need more info, like 'What is 'Lights'?' We can't see your screen, please use the 'Improve question' widget to "improve" your question.

Just put your code where you got error then we can analyze what is the mistake

1 solution

From your variable naming, I suggest that the indexer would belong to lights (plural, therefore an indexer makes sense), so we would get
C#
this.chkbox1.Checked = lights[0].Value;

// ...

private void chkbox1_CheckedChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    this.lights[0].Value = this.chkbox1.Checked;
}


But this leaves us with the problem that Value is, as the error message seys, of type int[^]. So we cannot assign it to Checked[^], since that requires a value of type bool[^].

Please improve your question using the "Improve question" link just beneath it to provide the type definition for lights.

[Edit]
Ok, so lights is an Offset<int>. That's no part of the .NET framework that I am aware of. Maybe it stems from the namespace FSUIPC, that I don't know as well.

But from your code and comments, I think you want to assing individual bits of ligts.Value to several checkboxes' Checked properties.
Try this one
C#
// long version
int mask = 1 << 3;
int match = lights.Value & mask;
bool bitIsSet = match != 0;
this.chkbox3.Checked = bitIsSet;

// short version
this.chkbox3.Checked = ((lights.Value & (1 << 3)) != 0);


You cannot access individual bits directly in C#, you have to circumvent that with binary AND and OR operations. The above example prepares a bit mask for the third bit by left-shifting '00000001' three times to '00001000'.
This mask AND yourValue gives an integer that equals zero if the interesting bit was not set. It's the same as 'mask' if the bit was set. You can now use a comparison with zero to get the correct value for 'Checked'.

For correctly setting lights.Value's individual bits from their respective Checked values, you have to AND (&) and OR[^] (|) things in the right order.

Dear lukeer

still same error with your example

As I said, this is a rough suggestion inspired by your variable naming.
As I and Milind Thakkar and GeekBond already asked before: Show us the actual definitions of those variables. What is lights defined as?
(Remember to use the "Improve question" link I mentioned)

Hi you can see now what i am trying to do and where is a error
lukeer 5-Nov-12 10:17am    
I updated my answer.
bikramjeet.sm 5-Nov-12 11:40am    
okay i checked so what about this
private void chkbox1_CheckedChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
error is here : ---
this.lights.Value[0] = this.chkbox1.Checked;
}
