[RESOLVED]Multi-Dimensional Array Get/Set Issue

[neef]

In my football sim I am trying to save all the info from a game. There are two defined dimensions to this array. The first is the number of weeks(17 always) and then the number of games per week (Number of teams /2). The plays themselves are unknown in quantity so I decided to use List of to store them.

With this type of multi-dimensional array that is also a List of I am having trouble with the Get and Set properties.

I have a member variable declared as:

    Private m_StoredRegSeasonGames(,) As List(Of CLStoredPlay)

Later I redim the array:

        ReDim m_StoredRegSeasonGames(17, m_intNumberOfTeams / 2)

My issue is I do not know the proper coding for the Get and Set Properties. This is the closest I could get:

    Friend Property StoredPreSeasonGames As List(Of CLStoredPlay)(,)
        Get
            m_StoredPreSeasonGames = m_StoredPreSeasonGames
        End Get
        Set(ByVal value(,) As List(Of CLStoredPlay))
            m_StoredPreSeasonGames = value
        End Set
    End Property

The only error I get with this version is a warning: StoredPreSeasonGames doesn't return a value on all code paths. Still, something is off. The parentheses and comma look wrongly placed. What am I missing?

Thanks in advance.

something like this would work:

Public Class Form1
    Private m_StoredRegSeasonGames(,) As List(Of CLStoredPlay)
 
    Friend ReadOnly Property StoredPreSeasonGames() As List(Of CLStoredPlay)(,)
        Get
            Return m_StoredRegSeasonGames
        End Get
        'Set(ByVal value(,) As List(Of CLStoredPlay))
        '    m_StoredRegSeasonGames = value
        'End Set
    End Property
 
    Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        Dim m_intNumberOfTeams As Integer = 12
        ReDim m_StoredRegSeasonGames(17, m_intNumberOfTeams \ 2)
        For y As Integer = 0 To m_StoredRegSeasonGames.GetUpperBound(0)
            For x As Integer = 0 To m_StoredRegSeasonGames.GetUpperBound(1)
                m_StoredRegSeasonGames(y, x) = New List(Of CLStoredPlay)
            Next
        Next
        StoredPreSeasonGames(0, 0).Add(New CLStoredPlay With {.a = 101, .b = "test"})
    End Sub
 
End Class
 
Public Class CLStoredPlay
    Public a As Integer
    Public b As String
End Class

i forgot to mention, your property uses a different array than the declaration + redim you posted

This was very helpful, thank you!

You were right that I cut and pasted my array incorrectly. I drank a Sam Adams right before I wrote this, so the lesson is don't drink and post.
