Question

First try

Dim holdValues() As Integer 'Doesn't Work
holdValues(1) = 55

Second try

Dim holdValues(-1) As Integer 'Gives me Index was outside the bounds of the array.
holdValues(1) = 55

I’m trying to do something similar to

 Dim myString(-1) As String

But apparently this doesn’t apply to integer arrays. I don’t know what the size of the array will be, it wont get smaller but it will grow larger.

Any help will be appreciated, thank you!

Answer 1

you add the number to

holdValues(x) //x+1 will be size of array

so something like this

Dim array(2) As Integer
array(0) = 100
array(1) = 10
array(2) = 1

you can re-allocate the array to be bigger if needed by doing this.

ReDim array(10) as Integer 

you’ll have to add in your code when you should make your array bigger. You can also look into lists. Lists take care of this issue automatically.

here’s some info on Lists: http://www.dotnetperls.com/list-vbnet

Hope this helps.
