Array Help

Hi,

This may be a very basic problem but im haveing real trouble with it and its driving me crazy!!!!!!!

I have created a class called Class1

I can create a new object by calling

Dim test2 As New Class1

I can change its attrributes by

test2.summary = True
test2.is_stage = False

etc.....

Now what I want to do is store this class in an array. I have tried the folowing code but it doesnt seem to work

Dim proj_tasks(10000) As Class1

proj_tasks(counter) = test2

This keeps erroring and I dont know why! Can somebody help me out!

Also if your feeling very generous could you please adivise me on how I could make this a dynamic array rather than having to set the array to a huge size in the first place

Thanks in advance!

Chris

I like the idea of ArrayList (Mainly because im a java programmer)

However when I use your code I get:

Compliation Error:

User defined type not define

Do i need to import anything If so whats the syntax Im a real novice VB programmer

import System.Collections

This is crazy now!

I am using:

Dim task_array() As Class1

Dim counter As Integer

counter = 0

ReDim taskarray(10000) As Class1

task_array(counter) = New Class1

task_array(counter).summary = True

I get a Run-time error '9":

Subscript out of range

The error seems to come from the code "task_array(counter) = New Class1"

Can anybody help me

Forget my last post I have fixed that issues, however now I have another problem:

Dim task_array() As Class1

Dim counter As Integer

counter = 0

ReDim task_array(10000) As Class1

task_array(counter) = New Class1 < --------------- This throws an error (Runtime error 91: Object variable or With Block not set)

task_array(counter).summary = True

Can anybody see why this would throw an error PLease help!!!!!!!!!!1

Code should look like this....

Dim task_array() As Class1

Dim counter As Integer

counter = 0

ReDim task_array(10000)

task_array(counter) = New Class1 '(Make sure Class1 has a Public sub New() event that can be called)

task_array(counter).summary = True

Also, rember to increment Counter.

However, your dimensioning quite alot of space in your array that you may not need. I would setup as follows and grow your array as needed. here's a full example.
