Abstract

Indexers allow an object to be treated as an array. They are declared in the same way as properties, except that the this keyword is used instead of a name and their accessors take parameters. In the following example, the indexer corresponds to an object array called data, so the type of the indexer is set to object.

class MyArray {   object[] data = new object[10];   public object this[int i]   {     get { return data[i]; }     set { data[i] = value; }   } }
