How to access object in multidimensional array in Visual Basic - vb.net

Question

In Visual Basic, I am using a List to store an array of objects. However, I haven't figured out how to access a particular object once I have added it to my list.
I am using Microsoft Visual Studio
Private Results As New List(Of Object)
Dim Results As Object()
Dim CaseStatus as String = "Closed"
...
Results.Add(New Object() {CaseStatus, FlagsStr, OBTotal, OBPaid})
MessageBox.Show(Result(0).ToString)
Displays: System.Object[]
I have also tried MessageBox.Show(Results(0,0).ToString), but don't get the expected results.

Answer 1

When you can .ToString on an object you get the fully qualified name of the object unless the class overrides .ToString. Creating a class and a List (Of T) gives you easy access to any of the properties of the class.
Public Class ProjectCase
Public Property CaseStatus As String
Public Property FlagsString As String
Public Property OBTotal As Decimal
Public Property OBPaid As Decimal
Public Sub New()
'include a default constructor
End Sub
Public Sub New(cs As String, fs As String, total As Decimal, paid As Decimal)
CaseStatus = cs
FlagsString = fs
OBTotal = total
OBPaid = paid
End Sub
Public Overrides Function ToString() As String
Return $"{CaseStatus}, {FlagsString}, Total = {OBTotal}, Paid = {OBPaid}"
End Function
End Class
Private Results As New List(Of ProjectCase)
Private Sub OPCode()
Results.Add(New ProjectCase("Closed", "Some string", 74.36D, 22D))
MessageBox.Show(Results(0).ToString)
MessageBox.Show(Results(0).CaseStatus) 'or any property of your class
End Sub
