Question

i’m using vb.net i have the following object array that i’m trung to extract all the true value from give it a name and add it to an array
here is the object array

this is what i have tried so far :

  Dim myarray() As String
        Dim number As Integer = 0
        If resultArray(0).BolComment Then

            myarray(number) = "comment"
            number = number + 1
        End If
        If resultArray(0).BolComplete Then

            myarray(number) = "complete"
            number = number + 1
        End If
        If resultArray(0).BolFinished Then

            myarray(number) = "Finished"
            number = number + 1
        End If
        If resultArray(0).BolOutCome Then

            myarray(number) = "OutCome"
            number = number + 1
        End If
        If resultArray(0).BolStatred Then

            myarray(number) = "Started"
            number = number + 1
        End If
        If resultArray(0).BolUser Then

            myarray(number) = "User"
            number = number + 1
        End If

this is giving me an error : the variable has been used before

Question how can i extract all the items that have the true value and push it to a new array with giving it a new name
Thanks

Answer 1

I think your problem is that you are not initializing the array to a specific size, nor are you re-sizing it each time you add a new item. However, it would be better to just use the List(T) class:

Dim list As New List(Of String)()
If resultArray(x).BolComment Then
    list.Add("comment")
End If
If resultArray(0).BolComplete Then
    list.Add("complete")
End If
If resultArray(0).BolFinished Then
    list.Add("Finished")
End If
If resultArray(0).BolOutCome Then
    list.Add("OutCome")
End If
If resultArray(0).BolStatred Then
    list.Add("Started")
End If
If resultArray(0).BolUser Then
    list.Add("User")
End If

Then, if you need it as an actual array, do this:

Dim myarray() As String = list.ToArray()
