[RESOLVED] [2005] Array of structures

[|2eM!x]

Private Structure tPlaylist
        Dim Text As String
        Dim Name As String
    End Structure
    Dim Playlists() As tPlaylist

Later on in my code, when I get the amount of playlists I do the following:

Public Sub readPlaylist(ByVal lv As ListView, ByVal cm As ContextMenuStrip)
        Dim Names() As String = IO.Directory.GetFiles(Sansa & "PLAYLISTS\", "*PLA")
        Dim Playlists(Names.Length - 1) As tPlaylist
        For i As Int32 = 0 To Playlists.Length - 1
            Playlists(i).Text = (My.Computer.FileSystem.ReadAllText(Names(i)).Replace(Convert.ToChar(0), String.Empty))
            Playlists(i).Name = IO.Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(Names(i))
        Next
 
    End Sub

However playlists is returning a nullreference error. If I set the definition up top to a constant number, then it works- but I cannot do it like that. The Playlists() needs to be public so I can access it througout my class. Any ideas?

edit**

I changed my code. Now it works inside the readPlaylist() sub, but the values of Playlists() are lost after the sub closes..How can I fix this??
