"Index was outside the bounds of the array."

I'm trying to read a text file and store it into an array, then draw a map according to the contents of the file. The file contents are:

5
7
2000002
2000002
2111112
2222222
2222222
I'm using this code to read the file, then draw it:
1 public void InitializeReadMaps(int map) // this is just run once, it's just a test  
2 {  
3     this.FileName = "map" + map.ToString() + ".txt";  
4     this.file = new FileStream(this.FileName, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read);  
5     this.sr = new StreamReader(this.file);  
6     string line = this.sr.ReadLine();  
7     this.YLength = Int32.Parse(line);  
8     this.XLength = Int32.Parse(line);  
9     this.map = new char[this.XLength, this.YLength];  
10 }  
11   
12 public void ReadMaps()  
13 {  
14     if (!sr.EndOfStream)  
15     {  
16         for (int y = 0; y < (this.YLength - 1); y++)  
17         {  
18             string line = this.sr.ReadLine();  
19             for (int x = 0; x < (this.XLength - 1); x++)  
20             {  
21                 map[x, y] = line[x];  
22             }  
23         }  
24     }  
25 }  
26   
27 public void DrawContent(SpriteBatch spriteBatch)  
28 {  
29     for(int y = 0; y < this.YLength; y++)  
30     {  
31         for (int x = 0; x < this.XLength; x++)  
32         {  
33             switch (this.map[x,y])  
34             {  
35                 case '1': tile.DrawTile(spriteBatch, x, y, 1); break;  
36                 case '2': tile.DrawTile(spriteBatch, x, y, 2); break;  
37             }  
38         }  
39     }  
40 }  

When I use this, I get "Index was outside the bounds of the array." on line 21,
map[x, y] = line[x]; 

Thanks.

Loading and drawing a sprite

July 2, 2009 by admin · Comment
Filed under: Xbox360 News 

I've been following the book by Aaron Reed, Learning XNA 3.0.

I've just started reading it, and everything seemed clear up until the second chapter.

I added my sprite to the contents and compiled it.

I then added the line:

     Texture2D texture; 

Between the GraphicsDeviceManager and SpriteBatch lines of code.

I then added:

    Content.Load<Texture2D>(@"Images/logo"); 

In the load content section.

And finally, I added:

spriteBatch.Begin(); 
            spriteBatch.Draw(texture, Vector2.Zero, Color.White); 
            spriteBatch.End(); 

In the draw section, after the Clear call.

Apparently this should draw the logo on the screen once I hit debug.
However I'm receiving the following error message:

"This method does not accept null for this parameter." "texture"
and it highlights this line:

       

 spriteBatch.Draw(texture, Vector2.Zero, Color.White); 

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've understood everything up to this point, but I can't get passed this.

When I created the new file, I selected XNA 3.0 and am using the PC version. I'm also using the Express edition of Microsoft Visual C# 2008.
