How to declare an array inline in VB.NET
There are plenty of correct answers to this already now, but here's a "teach a guy to fish" version.
First create a tiny console app in C#:
class Test{ static void Main() { var strings = new string[] {"abc", "def", "ghi"}; }}Compile it, keeping debug information:
csc /debug+ Test.csRun Reflector on it, and open up the Main method - then decompile to VB. You end up with:
Private Shared Sub Main() Dim strings As String() = New String() { "abc", "def", "ghi" }End SubSo we got to the same answer, but without actually knowing VB. That won't always work, and there are plenty of other conversion tools out there, but it's a good start. Definitely worth trying as a first port of call.
