Access View outside loop

[Kevin.Bell]

Hi,

I have a list of views elements which I've obtained by using a FilteredElementCollector.

I now need to iterate through the list and select the one which matches the name I want.

The problem is that I can't take the view I want outside the For loop due to its scope.

Ordinarily, I would define the variable outside the loop, but I can't do this with the View class as it doesn't contain a constructor...

This is my code:

View selectedview = new View();

foreach (View f in allviewlist)

   {
   if (f.Name == "East")
      {
      selectedview = f;
      }
   }

The first line fails.

Whats the best way of accessing the 'selectedview'?

Thanks.

Hi,

initialize selectedview this way:

View selectedview = null;

That's great! Thanks.

I knew it would be something simple!
