[RESOLVED] Array Help

[Loraine]

i just want to assign all value that i inputed in "Inputbox" to my labels ....
i have 10 labels

Dim type(10) As Array
Dim sum, ctr As Integer

sum = 0

For ctr = 0 To 9
type(ctr) = InputBox ((ctr + 1) & " : " &"Enter a digit!")
sum = sum + type(ctr)
next ctr


lblAnswer.Text = sum
lbl1.Text = type(ctr)
lbl2.Text = type(ctr)
lbl3.Text = type(ctr)
lbl4.Text = type(ctr)
lbl5.Text = type(ctr)
lbl6.Text = type(ctr)
lbl7.Text = type(ctr)
lbl8.Text = type(ctr)
lbl9.Text = type(ctr)
lbl10.Text = type(ctr)

i want to display all 10 numbers i inputed in my "InputBox" to all my labels help pls

There are many ways to obtain what you need.
A very simple one and similar to yours could be:

Dim type(9) As String 'Array index start from 0 and you should use a string type
Dim sum, ctr As Integer

sum = 0

For ctr = 0 To 9
type(ctr) = InputBox ((ctr + 1).tostring & " : " &"Enter a digit!")
sum = sum + convert.toint32(type(ctr))
next ctr


lblAnswer.Text = sum.tostring
lbl1.Text = type(0)
lbl2.Text = type(1)
lbl3.Text = type(2)
lbl4.Text = type(3)
lbl5.Text = type(4)
lbl6.Text = type(5)
lbl7.Text = type(6)
lbl8.Text = type(7)
lbl9.Text = type(8)
lbl10.Text = type(9)


Anyway this is only a rough example. There are many other better ways to reach similar result.
You should have a better view of vb.net's type (integer, string, etc...) and not confuse them.
Good job!

Ah well what a mess for me i forgot this again .... thank you for your reply and remembering this method .... type(0) ... type(9) .... ^^ .... thank you

[P.S]
what do you mean about "toInt32" ? and i also saw "toInt16" ? what about that ?

[jmcilhinney]

ToInt32 converts to an Int32, which is a 32-bit integer, which is an Integer in VB.NET terms.

ToInt16 converts to an Int16, which is a 16-bit integer, which is a Short in VB.NET terms.

There is also ToInt64, Int64 and Long.

If you have a tendency to forget that you are supposed to specify the upper bound of an array rather than the length then you should use the long-hand syntax:

Dim type(0 To 9) As String

Also, I'd like to point out that this:

Dim type(10) As Array

is not just creating an Array object. It is creating an array of Array object. It's creating an array that can store 11 Array objects to be precise.

thank you sir ....
