System.Array (Redim)

[rmatthew]

I need to chane the size of a one dimensional System.Array

Redim does not work?

 

The code I have to send the itemids to requires a type of system.array

 

itemids = System.Array.CreateInstance(GetType(String), lengths, lbounds)

All arrays are of type System.Array. Why don't you declare it in the usual fashion?

 

Dim itemids() As String

ReDim itemids(x)

 

Gives you an array with x + 1 elements.

The reference code I am looking at does as so (I am looking at sample code for a OPC class). I can't seem to find a reference to this syntax????

 

 

lengths(0) = 3

lbounds(0) = 1

shs = System.Array.CreateInstance(GetType(Int32), lengths, lbounds)

 

What I did to replace this was:

 

dim shs(0) as integer

 

Then I redim preserve as I need to grow. Doesn't seem to work the right way though :(

As Divil mentioned...

dim shs() as integer

redim preserve shs(x)
