Length of a multidimensional array

[OpticTygre]

If I have a multidimensional array, such as array1(5, 3), and I want to find
the length of the first section (the 5), can I just use array1.length, or
would that return 15 (5 * 3) instead of 5? Thanks in advance.

per documentation, it gets the total number of elements which in your case
would be 5*3 = 15 elements.

What would be the easiest way of getting the length of a particular
dimension, be it x or y?

Array.GetLength takes a dimension parameter

use Array.GetLength method which takes in the dimension as an argument.

Hi,
its really simple:
for your array1(5,3)
5 is at your 0 dimension and 3 at 1
so writing
array1.getupperbound(0) will give u 5
and array1.getupperbound(0) will give u 3

hope that helps

oops

and array1.getupperbound(0) will give u 3

i meant array1.getupperbound(1) ofcourse

you'll need to do array1.getupperbound - array1.getlowerbound to get the
length of the array (number of elements) which is what the OP was asking
for.
