System.Array.Rank (MS BUG?)

[Schneider]

The docs say System.Array.Rank will provide the number of dimensions in the
array. But does not seem to work.
I get 2 back for both 2 and 3 levels of dimensions in the array.

I am forced to use Com interop, could that be breaking this?

I am also using VB.NET.

Strange output.

See my code and locals window copy below:

Looks like a MS bug to me

never mind, GetUpperBound(1) is what I should be using.

Don't know why I misssed that.

Thanks,
