format string error in c#

The following line gives an error:

 Console.WriteLine("Order:{0},\n Placed:{1},\nshipped:{2},\nTo address:{3} ,{4}, {5}\n\n" + orderid, orderdate, shipdate, shipname, shipaddr, shipcity);

It shows an error as:

(Index (zero based) must be greater than or equal to zero an d less than the size of the argument list.)

Help me out to resolve this error. I know this error happened because of the place holder provided are greater than the variables provided.

You have a + instead of a , before your first argument. Correction:

Console.WriteLine("Order:{0},\n Placed:{1},\nshipped:{2},\nTo address:{3} ,{4}, {5}\n\n", orderid, orderdate, shipdate, shipname, shipaddr, shipcity);

The method is therefore only recognising 5 parameters, not 6.

Why do you have a plus at the end of your format string ? This is causing the params to be 5 when the format string expects 6.

Change as below :

Console.WriteLine("Order:{0},\n Placed:{1},\nshipped:{2},\nTo address:{3} ,{4}, {5}\n\n", orderid, orderdate, shipdate, shipname, shipaddr, shipcity);

I'm guessing you wanted:

Console.WriteLine("Order:{0},\n Placed:{1},\nshipped:{2},\nTo address:{3} ,{4}, {5}\n\n", orderid, orderdate, shipdate, shipname, shipaddr, shipcity);

Note the + is not present.

Console.WriteLine("Order:{0},\n Placed:{1},\nshipped:{2},\nTo address:{3} ,{4}, {5}\n\n",orderid, orderdate, shipdate, shipname, shipaddr, shipcity);

should solve the problem.
