Declaration Expected

[eBob.com]

I've done a lot of programming but very little OOP. Would someone be kind
enough to explain to me why I get a "declaratio n expected" on this
statement: anythingarray(0 ) = new anything(3)

Thanks, Bob

Public Class Form1

Inherits System.Windows. Forms.Form

Dim anythingarray(4 ) As anything

anythingarray(0 ) = new anything(3) ' < < here's the statement in error

#Region " Windows Form Designer generated code "



#End Region

End Class

Public Class anything

Dim onenum As Integer

Sub New(ByVal x As Integer)

onenum = x

End Sub

End Class

Re: Declaration Expected

Try putting the statement in the Sub New(), or some other function or
procedure. It looks like it's in the declarations portion.

Re: Declaration Expected

eBob,

What you want to do with those statements, even if it was not this error
that the statements are not correct.

If it is a try for a redim, than avoid the array, use the arraylist.

Re: Declaration Expected

The conflicting statement needs to be inside a method
