[RESOLVED] (VB. NET 2003) - Flexible Data Sets for Functions

[QuinnJohns]

I have only 2 sets of "fixed" numbers used, that I need to be able to toggle between. Particularly, for array sizes/for loops. Is it best to use "Collections" in VB.NET to accomplish this?

Thanks.

Need an example of what you mean. Details. Details. Details.

EDIT: And why are you still using VS2003? VS2008 is out, and VS2010 hit it's next milestone last week.

Sorry, its because my employer still uses it. I'm using VS 2008 at home.

I basically have 2 "parameters" that I toggle via checkbox, based on what I'm choosing, the number of pages, size of for-loops change.

Hope that makes more sense.

Use whatever is easiest for you. Not sure what was included back then, but whatever method you choose, should work.

I'd create a LIST(of T) that you can use LIST.Add("Name:, " & textbox2)

so you can then SPLIT a line

Meh. Well, I'm a decent programmer, I'm just getting used to the VB.NET syntax. Anyhow, I just decided to go with an array, I didn't need anything super fancy. Thanks for the help.

If the count is fixed, then an ARRAY should be sufficient.

I believe in 2003, an ARRAYLIST was the way to handle dynamic arrays.
