[RESOLVED] arrays

[chris128]

Huh? That is at runtime

[Aash]

Is it possible to create dynamic arrays, if so then how?






ThankS In AdvancE!!!

Well you can always ReDim arrays, but realistically this is why Collections are so powerful. What are you trying to do?

Just want to know like dynamic allocation is created in c++ , so if there's any way to create such in VB.Net too?

[JuggaloBrotha]

I'm not familiar with c++ so I couldn't tell you if dynamic allocation in c++ is available in vb.net

Just use a collection, same result

Dim AutomaticallyExpandingList As New List(Of String)
 
AutomaticallyExpandingList.Add("hello")
AutomaticallyExpandingList.Add("world")

AutomaticallyExpandingList.Add("world")

what if i want to create an array at run-time?

[Aash]

yes, i want to create an array at run-time like we use dynamic allocation of arrays in c++. In your code you are adding two strings at compile time, right?
as i've said that i want to add items at run-time, is it possible in vb.net?


Edit: how did ur post come at first? what's happening?

i've cleared that now from Athiest

This is at run time and no they are not concatinated together either, it's a collection of type String which means:

Dim AutomaticallyExpandingList As New List(Of String)

AutomaticallyExpandingList.Add("hello") 'index 0
AutomaticallyExpandingList.Add("world") 'index 1

Messagebox.Show(AutomaticallyExpandingList(0)) 'Shows: hello
Messagebox.Show(AutomaticallyExpandingList(1)) 'Shows: world

Messagebox.Show(AutomaticallyExpandingList(0) & " " & AutomaticallyExpandingList(1)) 'Shows: hello world
