Arrays in VB.Net

[Rip V Winkle]

I am programing a windows app (much like my console app talked about earlier in the forums) such as this. User inputs number Number is stored into an array there are commands the user can use to print sort and other such things. I do not want to use the arraylist function. I want to do this using just using array as such: Dim array1(3) as string I'm not sure how to add items to the array. In all my searching I only found information on the Arraylist. If anyone can Point me in the right direction. "Doko ni datte, hito wa tsunagatte iru." -Lain

Do you mean to assign objects to the array, simply do this

array1(0) = "Hello"
array1(1) = "world"

If you mean to increase the capacity of the array, use the Redim keyword

Redim Preserve array1(10)
array1(9) = "Bye"

I want to assign objects to the array. However I need to do this dynamically as they type information in. I can't get the code right for the program to add the new string to the end of the array. :(

Post a code snippet so we can see what you are doing. The two methods above work perfectly for String types also, so we're not getting all the details we need to know to answer your question. RageInTheMachine9532

So you're looking to dynamically increase the size of the array? If so, the earlier suggestion of Redim should work for you. You may want to look at the ArrayList class in the .Net Documentation anyway - the Add method makes it easy to work with a dynamically increasing list, and there are CopyTo and ToArray methods if you need to convert it to an actual Array object.

redim preserve numarray(size) numarray(ubound(numarray)) = newobject size += 1
