Initialize Array Without Default Value *SOLVED*

[jmcilhinney]

I said back in post #2 that an array element is basically just a variable. When you declare a variable of a reference type, what is it's value? It's Nothing, right? It refers to no object. If an array element is like a variable then it follows that, for a reference type array, each element refers to no object by default.

What would my options be if I hypothetically had a simple array?

Here's one:

Dim colors = Enumerable.Range(1, arrayLength).
                        Select(Function(n) Color.Black).
                        ToArray()
