Question about declaring arrays

[Terry Olsen]

What's the difference between:

dim ipad as IPAddress()

and

dim ipad() as IPAddress

They both seem to work the same. Thanks!

Terry,

What's the difference between:

dim ipad as IPAddress()

and

dim ipad() as IPAddress

Nothing

Although
dim ipad as IPAdrres(100) does not go and
dim ipad(100) as IPAdress goes.

I hope this answers your questions

Hi Cor,

Nothing

I've often wondered that too, glad you cleared that one up!

I was surprised to find that this worked also...
Dim ipad As IPAddress = Dns.ResolveToAddresses(Dns.GetHostName)(0)

That 0 at the end returns the first IPAddress in the list.

Dim ipad As IPAddress = Dns.ResolveToAddresses(Dns.GetHostName)(0)

That 0 at the end returns the first IPAddress in the list.

Dns.ResolveToAddress returns an array object - and that happens before
the assignment. This worked in VB6 as well (of course, not the Dns.*,
but the returning the element with the subscript)
