Arrays

Multidimensional Arrays

In Visual Basic, you can declare multidimensional arrays. For example, the following statement declares a two-dimensional array:

Static MyArray (1 To 2, 1 To 3)

So the elements to list array are:

MyArray(1,1)  MyArray(1,2)   MyArray(1,3)
MyArray(2,1)  MyArray(2,2)   MyArray(2,3)

You will find, that normally you will use one-dimensional arrays, however sometimes you may find it usefull to use a two or even three dimensional arrays. Using arrays with more than three dimensions are not a good idea as it makes code very difficult to debug.
