So I have a class file. Inside the class is a void which is started in the Program.cs. I used 'LavaSurvival.Init("properties/lava.properties")' in the Program.cs. I'm only pretty new to coding, so it's probably something I didn't know XD. The problem is that I continue to get this error:

Type: IndexOutOfRangeException
Source: Test
Message: Index was outside the bounds of the array.
Target: Init
Trace: at Test.LavaSurvival.Init(String path) in C:\mypath=3\LavaSurvival.cs:line 61

Heres the code for the void:

public static void Init(string path)
        {
           if (File.Exists(path))
            {
                string[] lines = File.ReadAllLines(path);
                foreach (string line in lines)
                {
                    if (line[0] != '!' && line != "" || line[0] != '#')
                    {
                        string key = line.Split('=')[0].Trim();
                        string value = line.Split('=')[1].Trim();
                        switch (key.ToLower())
                        {
                            case "lava-mode":

                                    if (value != "normal" && value != "rising")
                                    {
                                        Server.s.Log("Invalid lava mode. Using default.");

You didnt specify where exactly this error occurs, but i assume inthe for loop. Try to change it to:

if (!line.StartsWith("!") && line != "" && !line.StartsWith("#"))
{
     //your code...
}

The error occurs when it checks if the file exists.

In 1st if statement (If(File.Exists())?? here?
Cant be here, because this line of code does not throw any error. It returns a boolen value (true if file exist, and false if files does NOT exist).
So no error possible.
Tell me where EXACTLY does this happen. Please use a debug mode.

Should line == "" then the first if (line 8) will pass to the else clause (line 111) which is testing for line[0] == "!".
This will generate an error because line is empty!
[Edit]
Try adding this at the beginning of the foreach loop.

if (string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(line))
    continue;

[Edit2]
In fact line 8 will throw an error should line == "" because you test line[0] there.
