C＃NullReferenceException抛出：My StudentList静态类数组为null

Question

我一直在试图弄清楚我的代码正在发生什么。 我编写了一个应用程序，用户可以通过GUI应用程序输入学生的成绩。 第一个表单显示选项，下一个表单输入学生信息（姓名，人数，分数），最后一个表单显示学生信息的摘要（学生总数，最高分数，最低分数，姓名成绩最高的学生，学生名单）。

为了存储所有学生条目，我做了一个学生班。 我创建了一个静态的Student数组，并将其放在我的ProgramFunctions类文件（所有静态方法）中。

当我尝试运行显示学生摘要的表单时，它就是崩溃的地方-如果查看“自动”选项卡，它会告诉我Student [a]的值为null（我使用了for循环遍历每个数组中的学生对象）。 我确实跟踪了添加学生的过程，并确实表明我已经向Student数组添加了新条目。

我的计算方法（最高标记，最低标记，平均值）将引发异常。 这是我的代码：

class ProgramFunctions
{
    private static Student[] studentList = new Student[25];
    private static int counter = 0;

    public static void addNewStudent(Student newStudent)
    {
        if (studentList.Count() == counter)
        {
            MessageBox.Show("The Student List is Full", "List is Full");
        }
        else
        {
            studentList[counter] = newStudent;
            counter++;
        }

    }

    public static void displayErrorMessage(String message, String title)
    {
        MessageBox.Show(message, title);
    }

    public static TextBox validateTextBox(int textboxNumber, TextBox thisTextBox)
    {
        if (textboxNumber.Equals(1)) //Student Name textbox
        {
            if (thisTextBox.Text.Length < 0 || thisTextBox.Text.Length > 100)
            {
                displayErrorMessage("The Student Name specified is out of allowed region (greater than 100 or less than 0 characters. Please fix this", "Student Name Error");
            }
            else
            {
                thisTextBox.Text = thisTextBox.Text.Trim();
                return thisTextBox;
            }
        }
        else if (textboxNumber.Equals(2)) //Student number text box (only 10 characters allowed)
        {
            if (thisTextBox.Text.Length < 0 || thisTextBox.Text.Length > 10)
            {
                displayErrorMessage("The student number you specified is greater than 10 characters or less than 0. Please fix this", "Student Number Error");
            }
            else
            {
                thisTextBox.Text = thisTextBox.Text.Trim();
                return thisTextBox;
            }
        }
        else
        {
            if (thisTextBox.Text.Length > 2 || thisTextBox.Text.Length < 0)
            {
                displayErrorMessage("Invalid Length for exam mark", "Invalid Exam Mark");
            }
            else
            {
                thisTextBox.Text = thisTextBox.Text.Trim();

        {
            sum = sum + studentList[a].getExamMark;

Answer 1

在我看来，如果学生列表未完全访问计数器或更高级别的任何索引，将导致空对象。 我建议只循环进行反击：

for (int a = 1; a < counter; a++)
{
    Student currentStudent = returnStudentInformation(a);
    thisTextBox.Text = thisTextBox.Text + "\n" + currentStudent.getStudentName + "\t\t" + currentStudent.getExamMark + "\t" + currentStudent.getStudentNumber;
}

所有这些都引出了一个问题，即为什么在List<T>可用且针对动态数据而创建时为何将静态数组用于动态数据。
