[02/03] Reading in a file into an array

[Ggalla1779]

"Latebound assignment to a field of value type 'myFiles' is not valid when 'myFiles' is the result of a latebound expression.
at Microsoft.VisualBasic.CompilerServices.LateBinding.LateSetComplex"


Am reading a file into an array, am getting a late binding error...can anyone see why its complaining???

cheers George

Public Sub FileCountLoad(ByRef myFiles2)
        'OK Check if the file is there, if there Load it
        'If not create file from standard master template
        Dim FileReader As StreamReader
        Dim LineIn As String
        Dim FieldArray() As String
        Dim Index As Integer

        
        ChkMasterList(myFileList)         'Check todays file is there
        Index = 0

        Try
            FileReader = File.OpenText(myFileList)

            While FileReader.Peek <> -1
                LineIn = FileReader.ReadLine()
                FieldArray = Split(LineIn, ",")

                myFiles2(Index).SPname = FieldArray(0)
                myFiles2(Index).RRDname = FieldArray(1)
                myFiles2(Index).Total = FieldArray(2)
                myFiles2(Index).Freq = FieldArray(3)

                Debug.WriteLine("Sp Name: " & myFiles2(Index).SPname & ", RRD Name:" & myFiles2(Index).RRDname & ", Category: " & myFiles2(Index).Total & ", Category: " & myFiles2(Index).Freq)
                Index += 1
            End While
            FileReader.Close()

        Catch ex As Exception
                       Debug.WriteLine("Friendly Error message, " & ex.ToString & "and" & ex.Message)
        End Try

    End Sub

what line gives error?

[Ggalla1779]

Just here...when I try to add the value to the Array

Am using an array of a structure

myFiles2(Index).SPname = FieldArray(0)

[.paul.]

where do you declare/dimension myFiles2?

[Ggalla1779]

ok I thought this was working yesterday...... I made a change so that I defined the array of structure outside the above routine...so I can call it in other routines ie output array to file

Dim myFiles2(300) As myFiles

that was line then passed the subroutine the array....for some reason it doesnt like it

Just put above routine in main module and it works fine...... can anyone explain why moving passing the array it doesnt like it?? Is this a structure bug?
