Hey haven't done c# in a while and was just looking for some quick help

I have a custom structure and I want to create an array of that type and initialize it while I'm at it. Here is an example.

struct Vect2d
{
	int x;
	int y;
}

Vect2d[] myvect = new Vect2d[] {new Vect2d(1,2), new Vect2d(2,2)}

The error obviously comes at Vect2d(1,2), saying I am trying to use a type(i.e. Vect2d) as a variable. I understand why it's wrong I just can't think of what it should be.

Don't initialize the values there in the array itself
just create the array and pass the values like following
check whether it works or not
I am not sure

struct Vect2d
{
	int x;
	int y;
}

Vect2d[] myvect = new Vect2d[] {"firstname", "secondname"};

I would do that if it was an array of base class, but this is a custom structure, you can use it like that, it is an array of that type, i need to dynamically create that type with my desired input.

That would just cause a implicit conversion warning.

you need to change your structure a little...

struct Vect2d
{
	public int x;
	public int y;

	public Vect2d(int _x, int _y)
	{
		x = _x;
		y = _y;
	}
}

then you can do this..

static void Main(string[] args)
{
	Vect2d[] myvect = new Vect2d[] { new Vect2d(1, 2), new Vect2d(2, 2) };
}

Thanks I had completely forgotten you can add constructors in a structure.

Yep. You just can't have an explicit parameter-less constructor.
