title: How do i perform operations on a structures field?
body: <p>I im currently having an issue with when performing an operation with my structure.
  On form load, I am loading a comma delimited file with 6 indexes then using a 2d array i display the structured list's field to a grid view cell.</p>
  <p>In the last for loop, perform the operation using my total field?</p>
  <pre><code>{
      public partial class Form1 : Form
      {
          public struct Costomers
          {
              public string firstN;
              public string lastN;
              public string address;
              public string item;
              public double price;

          {
              InitializeComponent();
          }

                  var SplitArr = inputfile[i].Split(',');
  
                  // next declare a new instace of costomers
                  Costomers ConsumerInfo = new Costomers();
  
                  // the ConsumerInfo object now contains all of the fields i declared in the structer.
                  // next i want to access the Objects fields and assign them
                  ConsumerInfo.firstN = SplitArr[0];

                  //ConsumerInfo.total = consumers[i].price * consumers[i].quantity;
  
                  consumers.Add(ConsumerInfo);
              }
              // Next i need to disply each field in the grid view
              // i will resue my code from section F to do this.
              for (int i = 0; i &lt; consumers.Count; i++)
              {
                  dgInfo.Rows.Add();

                  dgInfo[4, i].Value = consumers[i].price;
                  dgInfo[5, i].Value = consumers[i].quantity;
              }
              // next in a seperat for loop i need too mutiply the price by the quantity 
  
              for (int i = 0; i &lt; consumers.Count; i++)
              {
                  Costomers totalPrice = new Costomers();
  
                  totalPrice.total = consumers[i].price * consumers[i].quantity;
  
                  dgInfo[6,i].Value = totalPrice.total;
              }
          }
      }
  }```

  <p>Second, because the file i load does not contain a index for total; how to i display the total in its own column?</p>
