🚀 go-pugleaf

The link you provided is helpful, but it doesn't provide a solution.  I'm
not trying to read data out of an object at this point; I'm trying to load
data into an object.

I've tried the following before and was still encountering a problem:

ItemData[] myItemDataArray = new ItemData[50];
ItemData myItemData = new ItemData( );   // one object
myItemData.Number = 575;
myItemData.Description = "widget";
myItemData.Cost = 29.95;
ItemDataArray[0] = myItemData;

So how can I load an array of objects without getting errors?  Thanks again.
