Basic ? about arrays 2

[TheConeHead]

I am only finding examples of arrays where you have to specify the length when creating it:

double[] prices = new double[20];

my question: Is there a way to not have to specify the length?? I would like it open-ended? I get an error when I try:

double[] prices = new double[];

You can DIM your array with an arbitrary value, then REDIM it later in your code. Use REDIM PRESERVE to keep any items that you have already put into an array.

Here's an article that discusses the performance implications of using REDIM and REDIM PRESERVE, and suggests the use of the ArrayList instead of an Array.

Good Luck!

You could use an arraylist (if you want a single demension array).

Dim myList as new arraylist
myList.Add("adsf")
myList.Add("hey")
