GetComponent().materials Bug?

Questions & Answers
1

I can not explain this:

child.GetComponent<MeshRenderer>().material=MyMaterial;  //work

child.GetComponent<MeshRenderer>().materials[0]=MyMaterial; //Not work

WHY??

I want to assign a material to all childrens:

//For all chidrens
    	if(child.GetType() == typeof(MeshRenderer)){

    	   child.GetComponent<MeshRenderer>().material=MyMaterial;
           // >> WORK for first material (ID 0)

    
    //	for (int i = 0; i < child.GetComponent<MeshRenderer>().materials.Length; i++)
    //				{
    //				
    //	child.GetComponent<MeshRenderer>().materials*=MyMaterial;*

// }
// >> NOT WORK

// foreach (Material mat in child.GetComponent().materials){
//
// mat=MyMaterial;
//
// }
// >> error CS1656: Cannot assign to mat' because it is a foreach iteration variable’

public GameObject child;
public Material MyMaterial;

	void Awake(){
		MyMaterial = new Material[child.GetComponent<MeshRenderer> ().materials.Length];
		for (int i = 0; i < MyMaterial.Length; i++) {
			MyMaterial *= (Material)Resources.Load ("New Material");*

  •  child.GetComponent<MeshRenderer> ().materials = MyMaterial;*
