INDEXERS in C#

INDEXERS in C#

An indexer is a member that enables objects to be indexed in the same way as an array. An indexer is declared like a property except that the name of the member is this followed by a parameter list written between the delimiters [ and ]. The parameters are available in the accessor(s) of the indexer. Similar to properties, indexers can be read-write, read-only, and write-only, and the accessor(s) of an indexer can be virtual.
The List class declares a single read-write indexer that takes an int parameter. The indexer makes it possible to index List instances with int values. For example
List names = new List();
names.Add("Liz");
names.Add("Martha");
names.Add("Beth");
for (int i = 0; i < names.Count; i++) {
string s = names[i];
names[i] = s.ToUpper();
}
Indexers can be overloaded, meaning that a class can declare multiple indexers as long as the number or types of their parameters differ.
