类的两个实例:只排序1

我有一个基本类，它有四个属性(Patient)。在Main()中，我为数组保留了内存，在实际创建实例之前，我向用户询问帐号，以确保它不存在于数组中。所以BinarySearch要求它被排序，但是一旦我排序它，做for循环的能力就丢失了。

//Variables
int intMaxNum = 5; //set max number of patients to 5
int intInputValue;
int intResult;
string strTempName;
int intTempAge;
double dblTempTotal;
Patient[] objectPatient = new Patient[intMaxNum]; //create an array of references
for (int x = 0; x < objectPatient.Length; ++x)
{
   //attempt to create a 'shadow' class to search through and keep integrity of main class (objectPatient)
   Patient[] tempobjectPatient = new Patient[intMaxNum];
   tempobjectPatient = objectPatient;
   if (x > 0)
   {
      Console.Write("'n***Next Patient***");
      Array.Sort(tempobjectPatient); //this will sort both objects even though I send the temporary class only - interface impact I'm sure
   }
   //ask for the Patient Account number
   Console.Write("'nEnter Patient Account Number: ");
   ReadTheAccountNumber:
   intInputValue = Convert.ToInt32(Console.ReadLine());
   //create temporary class for comparison
   Patient SeekPatient = new Patient();
   SeekPatient.PatientNumber=intInputValue; // reset the default info with the input Pateint Account Number
   //verify the Patient Account number doesn't already exist
   intResult = Array.BinarySearch(tempobjectPatient, SeekPatient);
   //intResult = Array.BinarySearch(objectPatient, SeekPatient);
   //if (objectPatient.Equals(SeekPatient)) //Can not get the .Equals to work at all...
   if (intResult >= 0)
   {
      Console.Write("'nSorry, Patient Account Number {0} is a duplicate.", intInputValue);
      Console.Write("'nPlease re-enter the Patient Account Number: ");
      goto ReadTheAccountNumber;
   }
   else //no match found, get the rest of the data and create the object
   {
      if (x > 0) { Console.Write("***Patient Account Number unique and accepted***'n"); } //looks silly to display this if entering the first record
      Console.Write("Enter the Patient Name: ");
      strTempName = Console.ReadLine();
      Console.Write("Enter the Patient Age: ");
      intTempAge = Convert.ToInt32(Console.ReadLine());
      Console.Write("Enter the total annual Patient amount due: ");
      dblTempTotal = Convert.ToDouble(Console.ReadLine());
      objectPatient[x] = new Patient(intInputValue, strTempName, intTempAge, dblTempTotal);
   }
}

下面是类:

class Patient : IComparable
{
    //Data fields
    private int patientNumber;
    private string patientName;
    private int patientAge;
    private double patientAmountDue;
    //Constructors
    public Patient(): this(9,"ZZZ",0,0.00)
    {
    }
    public Patient(int _patientNumber, string _patientName, int _patientAge, double _patientAmountDue)
    {
       PatientNumber = _patientNumber;
       PatientName = _patientName;
       PatientAge = _patientAge;
       PatientAmountDue = _patientAmountDue;
    }
    //Properties
    public int PatientNumber
    { 
       get { return patientNumber; }
       set { patientNumber = value; }
    }
    public string PatientName
    {
       get { return patientName; }
       set { patientName = value; }
    }
    public int PatientAge
    {
       get { return patientAge; }
       set { patientAge = value; }
    }
    public double PatientAmountDue
    {
       get { return patientAmountDue; }
       set { patientAmountDue = value; }
    }
    //Interfaces
    int IComparable.CompareTo(Object o)
    {
       int returnVal; //temporary value container
       Patient temp = (Patient)o; //create temp instance of the class
       if (this.PatientNumber > temp.PatientNumber)
          returnVal = 1;
       else
          if (this.PatientNumber < temp.PatientNumber)
             returnVal = -1;
          else
             returnVal = 0; //exact match
       return returnVal;
    }
}

class Patient : IComparable { 
  ...
  // Simplest, not thread safe
  private static HashSet<int> s_AllocatedPatientNumbers = new HashSet<int>();
  public static Boolean IsNumberAllocated(int patientNumber) {
    return s_AllocatedPatientNumbers.Contains(patientNumber);
  } 
  public int PatientNumber { 
    get { 
      return patientNumber; 
    }
    set { 
      s_AllocatedPatientNumbers.Remove(patientNumber);
      patientNumber = value; 
      s_AllocatedPatientNumbers.Add(patientNumber);
    }
  }
}

  if (Patient.IsNumberAllocated(intInputValue)) {
    ...
  } 

Patient[] tempobjectPatient = new Patient[intMaxNum];

tempobjectPatient = objectPatient;

Patient[] tempobjectPatient = (Patient[])objectPatient.Clone();

Dictionary<int,Patient> patients = new Dictionary<int,Patient>();
while (true)
{
    Console.Write("'nEnter Patient Account Number: ");
    int number = Convert.ToInt32(Console.ReadLine());
    if (patients.ContainsKey(number))
    {
        Console.Write("'nSorry, Patient Account Number {0} is a duplicate.", number);
        Console.Write("'nPlease re-enter the Patient Account Number: ");
        continue;
    }
    Console.Write("***Patient Account Number unique and accepted***'n");
    Console.Write("Enter the Patient Name: ");
    string name = Console.ReadLine();
    Console.Write("Enter the Patient Age: ");
    int age = Convert.ToInt32(Console.ReadLine());
    Console.Write("Enter the total annual Patient amount due: ");
    double amountDue = Convert.ToDouble(Console.ReadLine());
    patients.Add(number, new Patient(number, name, age, amountDue));
}
