      do you want the size of the array in bytes, or the number of elements in the array? if you want the size in bytes, use the sizeof() like so;

      int size_in_bytes;
      int theArray[20];
      size_in_bytes = sizeof(theArray);

        Hi, Dont use user defined array in this case. You better use CStringArray. Then you no need to calculate the size of the array. This class is having a member function int GetSize() to get the size of the array.

        The price of anything is the amount of life you exchange for it. Thanks and Regards. SANTHOSH V

          please read at first the docs about the used obejcts carefully. Often there are tiny little helper as .length or .GetLength to solve such problems. (And use the search box in top of this site a lot) :-\

                The size of such array is

                int iSize = sizeof(store);

                The number of elements of such array is

                int iCount = sizeof(store)/sizeof(store[0]);

                or, more concisely, 100. :)

                        On what line does the code assert? BTW your array is fixed-sized to 100 elements, regardless if you assign or not any of them. :)

                            If you need an array that grows dynamically then have a look at std::vector. MFC has the CArray container but it's a crap (please don't tell this to Rajesh :rolleyes: ). very basic (and naive) vector usage sample follows:

                            #include <iostream>
                            #include <string>
                            #include <vector>

                            using namespace std;
                            void main()
                            {

                            vector < string > v;

                            v.push_back(string("hi,"));
                            v.push_back(string("how"));
                            v.push_back(string("do you do?"));
                            cout << "vector size = " << v.size() << endl;
                            for (int i=0; i<v.size(); i++)
                            {
                            cout << v[i] << " ";
                            }
                            cout << endl;
                            }
