Multidimensional arrays? anything else?

Hi there,

Just wondering, if there is any way to have a dynamic / unspecified size of
an array? It obviously needs to be updated, deleted etc. The only way I
thought is by making the array massive at the start? Any other ideas?
Apparently Hashtable, ArrayList etc are useless as they all take one
dimension. :( Please help me!

Thanks,
Naomi

Useless for what?

While arrays can be multi-dimensional, Collections can behave so. Simply use
a Collection of Collections. Similar to a jagged array.

Hi, d[ - - ]b

As collections, like ArrayList, can accept any objects including collections
as items, you can have array lists of array lists of array lists etc. Also,
I would suggest to lookup jagged arrays and multidimensional arrays in .Net
reference documentation. The rest depends on what exactly you need to do.
