dim statements

[wildcat_2000]

hi,

can someone tell me why

Dim myDir as DirectoryInfo = New DirectoryInfo(Server.MapPath(PATH_DEST))
Dim fileInfos() as FileInfo = myDir.GetFiles("*.hta")

works while

Dim myDir as DirectoryInfo
Dim fileInfos() as FileInfo 
        
myDir = New DirectoryInfo(Server.MapPath(PATH_DEST))
fileInfos() = myDir.GetFiles("*.hta")

not?

getting crazy on this one...

myDir = New DirectoryInfo(Server.MapPath(PATH_DEST))
fileInfos = myDir.GetFiles("*.hta")

thank you mendhak,

my problem was if then i had to redefine new files, and you actually have to set to nothing the fileinfos object to do so.

for instance:

Dim myDir As DirectoryInfo
Dim fileInfos() As FileInfo 
        
myDir = New DirectoryInfo(Server.MapPath(PATH_DEST))
fileInfos() = myDir.GetFiles("*.hta")
 
'do some stuff here
 
fileinfos = nothing
fileInfos = myDir.GetFiles("*.mdb")
 
'do some stuff here

this works, but if you comment out the fileinfos = nothing statement it will generate an error.

thank you, you showed me the way out,

cheers,

wc.
