It would help if you could give a bit more information. Is there any
reason why you need to use an array instead of a List<string> which
you can keep adding to? How are you going to populate the array? What
will you do with it afterwards?

i have a file txt: address book.txt. in this file any record is a
different person; in the record there are some information like
'name', 'phone','address' and any other...
i create a class that import a file and save a single information of
record in a different place of array.when all information of one
record is saved, i must write a new file with part of this
information. All of operation, are in a "FOR" loop or cycle( i don't
now which word is better )
can you understand?

thanks

Okay - and how are those stored?

Well, it sounds like a List<Person> will be fine.

the file are stored in c:\Test

then, you think that i must use a ListArray and not Array to
"increase" the performance?
thanks

the file are stored in c:\Test

That's *where* they're stored - I was asking about *how* the data is
stored, i.e. the format.

No, I think you should use a List<string> (or ArrayList, or something
similar) rather than an array so that you don't need to know how many
items to create before you start.
