VB.NET How to declare new empty array of known length

arrays vb.net

The syntax of VB.NET in such a case is a little different. The equivalent of

string[] dest;// more code heredest = new string[src.Length];

Dim dest As String()' more code heredest = New String(src.Length - 1) {}

arrays vb.net

The normal way to do this would be to declare the array like so:-

Dim my_array() As String

and later in the code

ReDim my_array (src.Length - 1)

arrays vb.net

You can use Redim as already noted but this is the equivalent VB code to your C#

Dim dest As String()dest = New String(src.Length - 1) {}

Try and avoid using dynamic arrays though. A generic List(Of T) is much more flexible
