I have finished a project of mine in c# 2008. but now i need to redo it again to c# 2005 to create an installer(setup and deployment) but i realized that there's no .count method in c# 2005. Please show me the proper conversion of the code below(error is : int cardCount = draw.Count(card => card.StartsWith(value)) it's a video poker program btw

string[] values = { "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9", "10", "J", "Q", "K", "A" };
            string[] suits = { "♠", "♦", "♣", "♥" };

            string[] draw = { "A ♠", "A ♦", "K ♦", "K ♥", "A ♥" };

            Boolean threeOf = false;
            Boolean twoOf = false;
            Boolean fullHouse = false;

            // full house, 3 cards of one value, 2 cards of another value
            foreach (string value in values)
            {
                int cardCount = draw.Count(card => card.StartsWith(value));//NOT WORKING
                if (cardCount == 3)
                { threeOf = true; }
               
                if (cardCount == 2)
                { twoOf = true; }
            }

            if (threeOf && twoOf)
            { fullHouse = true; }

Linq came in .NET 3.5 and I assume C# 2005 means .NET 2.0 so there is no linq.

You can create a new method where you give your 'draw' array and 'value' string as parameter and return an int.

Hi,
I really don't understand why you need to redo it in VS2005 - you can create installer/... also in VS2008?!
However, you need to replace the LinQ expression by a loop like:

int Count(string[] draw, String value)
{
  int result = 0;
  for(int i=0; i<draw.Length;i++) if(draw[i].StartsWith(value)) result++;
  return result;
}

By your question it seems you have no glue what even happens within the 'draw.Count(card => ...)' method so you might take a look here.
