I have some variables like

  public static IGPOPort LED1; // Third 595 Chip control LEDS   public static IGPOPort LED2;   public static IGPOPort LED3;   public static IGPOPort LED4;   public static IGPOPort LED5;   public static IGPOPort LED6;   public static IGPOPort LED7;   public static IGPOPort LED8;

 

I want to create a method like the follwing..

 

SwitchLED(int LEDNo,bool On)

{

  (LED + LEDNo).Write(On); //i know this doesn't work but hopping this will explain what i am trying to achieve

}

 

Any other suggestion or variation on solution would be great?

Hello.

Keep the LEDs definition as you have written above. Just define an array of IGPOPort, then you'll be able to do what you want:

 

 

 

static IGPOPort[] _ports = new []{  LED1,  LED2,  LED3,  // etc};SwitchLED(int LEDNo,bool On){    _ports[LEDno].Write(On); //i know this doesn't work but hopping this will explain what i am trying to achieve}

You could always try overloading the [] operator.  You can find an example of this in this post.
