Arrays :(

hi,
i want an array , i dont know how many objects are going to be added to it before the function call, so is there anyway to

* increase the upperbound, then add the new object?
or
* i know i'm not going to have more than 20 objects, so can intsiate it with 20 objects, then remove the extra one ( empty values) at the end?

what i finally want is a full array, no empty values


thanks...

you can use the ArrayList rather than making a string type of array, eg:

VB Code:

Dim myArray As New ArrayList() '/// you can also specify a capacity in the brackets.
        myArray.Add("an item added to the arraylist")
        MessageBox.Show("the array now holds: " & myArray.Count)

I agree with dynamic_sysop and if you need a type safe array from the arraylist you can use the ToArray method to get one.

thanks ....
