OK - this is driving me mad. Arrays in VB.NET really, really annoys me. Here is a short list on how to work with arrays, in my example an array of strings.
- Declaring an new empty array:
Dim arr() as String = {}or (this is where the pain begins…why is there a choice?)Dim arr as String() = {} - Declaring an array with three elements:
Dim arr(2) as String - Declaring an array with two elements and initializing the values
Dim arr as String() = {"Element 1", "Element 2"}So - again the pain of VB.NET comes from the urge to want to help us all the time. Why, oh why, are there several ways of doing one thing?
I will sure get back to this post a lot because I forget how this is done every time - much thanks to the “helpfulness” of VB.NET
