Arrays

[nacho2]

Hi,

I need to use an array such as

Dim array() as string

later on if I do:

array(1)="john"

says it doesn't work, I think it is because I have to initialize it. I've tried doing:

Dim array() as string = {}

but then when i try array(1)=... it says I'm out of bounds.

How can I initialize an array with empty elements not knowing how many elements I will have (I could guess this if the other option is too complicated).

Thanks in advance

Use an arraylist, it will make your life much easier:

Dim j As New ArrayList
        j.Add("John")
        j.Add("Bill")
 
        MsgBox(j.Count)    'Returns 2
 
        MsgBox(j.Item(1))  'Returns "Bill" since arraylists are 0 based
