IComparable in WPF

Question

Hello Guys,

 

I need to implement a Search button that will compare the value from my Text box with the values in the arrays and if they match, it returns the index, otherwise it will return -1. I implemented the random arrays of doubles and ints already as well as all the interface and buttons. It is a must to use IComparable and CompareTo() but I have no idea on how to implement it. I tried implementing a Search method, but it is not working, I don't know how to call it in the Search Button Click_Event. That's what I have so far:

 

public partial class MainWindow : Window

{

int[] numb = new int[6];

double[] numb2 = new double[6];

public MainWindow()

{

InitializeComponent();

}

//Create Int

private void Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)

{

resultsBox.Items.Clear();

resultsBox.Items.Add("Index Value\n");

Random rnd = new Random();

for (int i = 0; i < 6; i++)

{

numb[i] = rnd.Next(0, 999);

string m = i.ToString() + "\t" + numb[i].ToString();

resultsBox.Items.Add(m);

}

}

//Create Double

private void CreateDouble_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)

{

resultsBox.Items.Clear();

resultsBox.Items.Add("Index Value\n");

Random rnd = new Random();

for (int i = 0; i < 6; i++)

{

numb2[i] = Math.Round(rnd.NextDouble() * (999), 2);

string m = i.ToString() + "\t" + numb2[i].ToString();

resultsBox.Items.Add(m);

}

}

//Search

private void SearchButton_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)

{

}

static int Search<T>(T[] dataArray, T searchKey) where T : IComparable<T>

{

//Iterate through the array.

for (int iter = 0; iter < dataArray.Length; iter++)

{

//Check if the element is present in the array.

if (dataArray[iter].CompareTo(searchKey) == 0)

{

//Return the index if the element is present in the array.

return iter;

}

}

//Otherwise return the index -1.

return -1;

}

}

}

 

 Thank you!
