I'm wondering what the proper way to remove an item from an array is. The way i am doing it at the moment is:
Is this the best way to do it as i'm having problems with my programme and i think it may be something to do with this?Code:MyArray(0) = Nothing
The proper way is to move everything ABOVE the item down 1 slot, and then resize the array. It's relatively simple, but does take a little coding. In place of using an actual Array, I recommend you use a List(of T) instead.
That wont work as I need everything else in the array to stay where it is
I also can't use the list as i'm using a two dimensional array
What type are you putting into the array then? Why are you using a single dimension in code if it's multi-dimensional?
The array contains graphics from a class that i have created. I was just using that code as an example what i'm actually doing is:
Code:Blocks(TestPosition.X, TestPosition.Y) = Nothing
What your "problems with my program".
Basically I am setting certain items in the array to nothing and when rendering all blocks in the array to the screen its still displaying the items that have been set to nothing. I have put breakpoints on my code and I checked the array and the items are set to nothing so im not sure why it's still drawing the blocks.
Then maybe it's a problem with your code somewhere else
Ye that's what I was thinking but im starting to loose hope i've been through my code lots of times and still can't figure out why. If i'm removing blocks that were originally in the array then it works fine but if im removing a block that was added to the array then it sets it to nothing but still display it on screen.
maybe we could help you if we saw your code?
