Dynamic Arrays in VB
Author
I have never been able to make a dynamic array in VB..., how is it done?
If one person would write a book on DirectX in VB, I would make them a rich man!
i haven''t used VB in a while, but i remember. "dim()".

To add to what Magmai said, you can also use:
Redim Preserve ListSpeed(200)
This means that the original contents of the array will be saved. Only use this if you need to though, as it can be slower.
Oh, and the MSDN is an even better source of info for little language problems like this... use it
Trying is the first step towards failure.

When ReDim(Arr(X)) is used, it will delete all the contents in the array and reinit them to 0. THis can be an extremely fast way to reset a dynamic array; use it!

Also for fixed arrays, you can use that trick:
Sub ClearArray(MyArray() As Long)
Redim MyArray(UBound(MyArray))
End Sub
But it is better to just use Erase:
Erase MyArray
if this is done on a dynamic array, then you need to redimension because they are lost as well, so
Erase MyDynamicArray
Redim MyDynamicArray(Size)
But since Redim will clear the contents anyway, we get rid of the erase.
Oh, and it is good practice to Erase dynamic arrays when you are finished with them.

you cannot redim a fixed array.
try it.
