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 dont 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 cant 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. Doesnt seem to work the right way though

As Divil mentioned...

dim shs() as integer

redim preserve shs(x)
