OMG - No-One understands! Re-Explanation.

VB Code:

Dim MyA(0 to 1, 0 to 2) As String
 
MyA(0) = "hello"  'Why can't I assign a stupid string to the first level of the array?
MyA(0,0) = "hello"   "I dont want to do something like that!
 
'is what i'm trying to do impossible?

If the array is multi-dimensional, you msu do it the way you wish not to...

If you want a simple one dimen array, dim your array like this :

VB Code:

Dim MyA(0 to 1) As String
 
MyA(0) = "hello

according to vb yes it is impossible.

LOL That sucks...What a stupid language. I've been programming in this thing for a year and I always thought it was possible till I tried it. Good old PHP never fails me though :P!

Not to criticize, but how do you think VB would have determined this anyway? You want an array to hold data like a grid, but only pass it the column?

Not to criticize

but other languages do support it and their multidimentional arrays work like a database!

Tuff...

Seriously, if you have problems with clarified code... you can go complain to a wall...

To me, typing array(0,0) = 1 is about as tiring as typing array(0)=1

No difference at all to me...

What languages would they be?

Do you need to set all the line, or all the column?? Or just the first column of that line?

It doesn't really make a diff, just do the 0,0 way..

hum... correct me if i'm wrong, but I don't think you could do this in c/c++ either. Are they stupid languages too? As for PHP... isn't this a scripting language for web page using databases? Yeah... probably a whole lot better... :rolleyes:

I tried this in VB:

Code:

---

<? print("Hello World"); ?>

---

It didn't work.

That sucks...What a stupid language.

Agree to Valkan.

And ... in which Database can you assign a value to a column by indicating only a row number?

P.

If you want it to work like this...

I suggest writing your own code.

BTW if VB did support a function like this a whole column would change.
