Using an array like a variable

Is it possible to pull something out of only one spot of a dimensional array?

I don't understand the question.

Maybe you are searching for the Array.CopyTo() method.

Bye!

Say my array is this:

0|0
1|1
2|2
3|3

How can i get just the bolded strings?

?

VB Code:

dim item as object=myarray(0)

Thats how you get the first one, right?

Use variables, let it on the fly pick which 1 you want, then use MyArray(N)

Yes that will retrieve the first element in a zero based array (all arrays are by default zero based).

To retrieve the next one:

VB Code:

MessageBox.Show(myarray(1).ToString)

AHHHH i got it, thanks :)

Hmmm, i cant have a 4 dimintional array?

Four dimentional array :

VB Code:

Dim ary(3,3) As String

Umm, that would be a 2 dimensional array!

Unless I'm wrong, here's how it is:

Dim Ary(1) As String - 1 dimensional (imagine each element as a point on a line)
Dim Ary(2,3) As String - 2 dimensional (imagine each element as a point on a square grid)
Dim Ary(4,5,6) As String - 3 dimensional (imagine each element as a point on a 3D cube grid)
Dim Ary(7,8,9,10) As String - 4 dimensional (a point on a cube grid at a specific time?)

The number of dimensions an array contains has nothing to do with the number of elements each dimension contains.

Oops . :o
