I want to decalre and fill an array with some numbers, 5, 7, 8, 9, 0

do I just do this:

Dim myarray as int = (5,7,8,9,0)

if not how would i do this?

thanks.

Try this in VB.net:
Dim myarray As Integer() = {5,7,8,9,0}

This makes me wonder, what's the difference between:

Dim MyArray() As Integer = {5, 7, 8, 9, 0}

and

Dim myarray As Integer() = {5,7,8,9,0}

thanks,

Doug

There is no difference except in syntax.

One is correct and the other isn't

Dim MyArray() As Integer = {5, 7, 8, 9, 0} says exactly what you want. You
want an array of integer types.

Dim MyArray As Integer() = {5, 7, 8, 9, 0} really says that you want a
reference to an integer array.

While both will compile the second is a very ambiguous way to state what you
want.

Ray,

It is never good for a non native speaking English person to do a discussion
in that language.

But why is: "Create an object while giving it the name MyArray and use for
that an integer array" , not a more realistic way? (The myArray is just a
name, the array() tells the type to use and how many of those)

I have myself not any preference by the way, but telling that one is correct
and the other wrong is something I don't see using your explanation, even in
opposite of that.

The type of the variable is "integer array". The "()" (read: array) are part
of the type name. The variable type is put after the "As" keyword.
Consequently "As Integer()" (read: As Integer Array) makes more sense.

Armin
PS: There were already many discussions about ambiguous "()" (why are there
no "[]" for arrays like in C#?, why is it different if you specify an upper
bound?), so...

Well, I think that both declarations make sense, and I prefer the 'Dim
MyArray() As Integer' declaration for readability reasons (I think it's more
important that a variable contains an array than to read the type of its
items first).

Oh good a trivial argument... you get so few of these on USENET :-) I'm
with Armin on this. If adding part of the variable's type definition onto
the variable name is a good idea then clearly syntax such as the following
would tell us that MyObject is a reference "before" having to see what it is
a reference to.

Dim MyObject* As Form

And as Armin intimates, if an IntegerArray keyword was defined nobody would
be questioning this at all.

Also Armin didn't actually "schrieb" what is stated in Herfried's reply.
The "One is correct and the other isn't " quote was written by "Ray
Cassick" <rcassickNO-(E-Mail Removed)> and while I note the grin in his
reply I will suggest that he is correct, he simply selected the wrong
example as the correct one :-) What you have is reference to an integer
array so why not declare it as such?
