Hi all i am trying to write and anonymous delegate. as the integer variable is shared among the delegate i need it to be the local instance of every delegate such that rs[0] always gets nics[0], rs[1] always gets nics[1] and so on... how will i achieve this.
for (int i = 0; i < nics.Count; i++)
{
rs[i] = new RollingSeries(monitor, new RollingSeries.NextValueDelegate(delegate()
{
return GetNetworkUtilization(nics[i]);
}));
}

Make a local copy of i
:
for (int i = 0; i < nics.Count; i++)
{
int j = i;
rs[i] = new RollingSeries(monitor, new RollingSeries.NextValueDelegate(delegate()
{
return GetNetworkUtilization(nics[j]);
}));
}
The Beauty of Closures
Use a local to get a different value per iteration
for (int i = 0; i < nics.Count; i++)
{
int localI = i;
rs[i] = new RollingSeries(monitor, new RollingSeries.NextValueDelegate(delegate()
{
return GetNetworkUtilization(nics[localI]);
}));
}
Put int j = i
inside your loop and refer to j
within the lambda expression.
