Question

My brain doesn’t seem to be working today. I googled around for this and just couldn’t find it, which seems kind of strange since this is such a basic question that I can typically find out very quickly.

I’m trying to create an array of DateTime objects. I can’t use a List.

        DateTime[] dates 
        dates[0] = Convert.ToDateTime("12/01/2009");
        dates[1] = DateTime.Now;

However, I get an error, stating use of unassigned local variable.

So… how do I create the array?

using a basic array, you need to instantiate the array before you can assign items to it:

DateTime[] dates = new DateTime[2];
dates[0] = Convert.ToDateTime("12/01/2009");
dates[1] = DateTime.Now;
