Hi guys,

Just looking over course work that I completed last semester and have come across a question that I just cant answer. This is just purely out of interest and is just for my own revision so im not cheating or anything by asking on here.

The question is:
Demonstrate how the first and second dimensions of
a 2-dimensional (2-D) array may be resized from a size of 3 by 6 to a size
of 7 by 15, respectively.


Now its been awhile since I looked over this stuff so my mind keeps drawing a blank. I know a Redim statement is used but after that im stumped. Heres my go at it. Im not sure is it right but please guide me in the right direction. Just as a point this is more of a conceptual question more than anything as in its never actually going to be compiled.

My Answer:
Is this right?

Thanks

Why not compile (and run) it?
That is the best way to test code.

I assume your class did not use VB6, because it would not work there.
(in VB6 the initial array could not be declared Dim'd with bounds, it would either have to be ReDim'd initially with bounds (which is not allowed in VB.net) or Dim'd without any bounds Dim myfirstArray() as String to make it "dynamic".)

In VB.Net it would work, assuming the ReDim was in a procedure (sub or function).

It could be a trick question, since arrays are 0 based, the "size" of array myfirstArray(7, 15) is really 8 x 16, so if you were to take the question literally, then perhaps it should be an array with ubounds of (2,5) going to an array with ubounds of (6,14).
