Good Article

Useful   Posted by: Karen on Tuesday, January 06, 2004

Very useful article!

Only 1 remark. This:
string[] aFoo = new string[9];
assigns to array aFoo 9 elements, not 10.

Respect, yes!

I spent ages looking for C# dynamic arrays tutorials, this explanation came in very handy.

Ta.

Bump. Very useful. Short and sweet.

Answered exactly what I was looking for!   Posted on Wednesday, May 02, 2007

Very well written

excellent   Posted on Friday, August 24, 2007

It's very useful

This is not what the title says   Posted on Thursday, August 30, 2007

it is supposed to be a tutorial teaching how to create dynamic arrays and not how to escape creating dynamic arrays and using Arraylist instead. I give u a 0

upperbound   Posted by: jay on Wednesday, September 19, 2007

If you use an array, there is GetUpperBound method. Is there any property/method in arraylist?

Extremely Helpful and easy!   Posted on Wednesday, November 14, 2007

Thank you for explaining dynamic arrays in C#. I've been looking for a c++ vector replacement and I think I've found it in ArrayList!

This article was exactly the information I was looking for, including the explanations and code samples. Excellent!

Good, but better to use List<T> now instead of ArrayList   Posted by: Jink on Friday, August 15, 2008

Better performance, avoids boxing.

Dynamic?   Posted by: Drew Perrett on Monday, October 06, 2008

There is nothing dynamic about this array creation method, just hard coded rubbish.

Looks good!   Posted by: Roger on Tuesday, February 10, 2009

What hard-coded about this? It does what it advertises - makes a dynamic list of things. Whether you call that an array, an arraylist, or your Grandma's shoes, the result is the same - a list of stuff with no defined start or end point. Well done!

nonsense   Posted by: stefko on Thursday, March 05, 2009

It is not an array, it is a collection of objects.

thank you   Posted by: meysam rahimi on Friday, March 06, 2009

thank you for your describtion. that was so fantastic.

dynamic string array   Posted by: m behrens on Tuesday, June 23, 2009

its fine but
here is my version of pascal's setLength for C#.
It makes string arrays not only larger, but truncates them also.
Feel free to use it and be aware of the "ref" directive needed in your call.
private void setLength(ref string[] arr, int newLength)
{
if (arr == null) arr = new string[newLength]; else
{
string[] tempArr = new string[newLength];
for (int i = 0; i < newLength; i++)
if (i < arr.Length) tempArr[i] = arr[i];
else tempArr[i] = "";
arr = new string[newLength];
for (int i = 0; i < newLength; i++) arr[i] = tempArr[i];
}
}

You used a link and now the link is down and all you have a a bunch of posts saying how good this is. If this is typical of programmers heaven then they should rename themselves programmes hell

I concur with the previous poster. Please post solutions in the forum, not links to solutions, unless it is within the same forum.
