Multidimensional array of structs

Question

I'm trying to use a multidimensional array of structs in C#. After some time I have managed to write a single row array without fixed length. The code is as follows:

 public GameObject block;
 public GameObject emptySpace;

 public struct cell {
     public int cellRotation;
     public GameObject cellBlock;
 
     public cell(int r, GameObject b){
         cellRotation = r;
         cellBlock = b;
     }
 }

 void Start () {
     cell[] map = {
         new cell(90, block), new cell(180, emptySpace), new cell(270, block)
     };
 }

I can access the structs' properties easily by doing something like map[0].cellRotation

My question is, how can I define a new multidimensional array of structs of fixed length (say [2,3]) and how could I access it later on? Every single thing I've tried returns an error.

Thanks

Thanks Nicolas $$anonymous$$usset. I don't know why it refused to compile before, but I can write a second row now. It still returns an error when I try to specify its length, though.

Could you show us the line that is causing the error?

Finally got it to work. I'm sorry for wasting your time. In case anyone else encounters a similar problem it looks like this:

 cell[,] map = new cell[2, 3]{
     {new cell(90, block), new cell(180, emptySpace), new cell(270, block)},
     {new cell(90, emptySpace), new cell(180, block), new cell(270, emptySpace)}
 };

You would have had to set the struct with the constructor inside first.

Thanks everyone
