yo cannot create it at run time, you must have it already defined. But, you can define it as:

dim MyArr()

and then, during runtime, you can ReDim it:

ReDim MyArr(1 to n, 1 to m)

You can also have a Variant, and if you asign some list, range, collection, etc to it, it'll become a Variant's array.

depends what type of array you mean , I have used the code below to create and array of labels on runtime

[CODE=vbnet]
Public Class Form1
Public Mylabel(4) As System.Windows. Forms.Label

Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVa l sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArg s) Handles MyBase.Load


Dim n As Integer

' text for diverted tasks
Dim Div_text(4) As String
Div_text(1) = "A"
Div_text(2) = "B"
Div_text(3) = "C"
Div_text(4) = "D"

'add labels to array

For n = 1 To 4
Mylabel(n) = New System.Windows. Forms.Label
Next n

' set up label size and location

For n = 1 To 4
Mylabel(n).Text = New String(Div_text (n))
Mylabel(n).Loca tion = New System.Drawing. Point(200, (22 * n) - 10)

' add label to form

Me.Controls.Add (Mylabel(n))
Next

End Sub[/CODE]

Oh, that's true, you can make 'arrays' of controls during runtime. May be they can be more helpful for what you need, rekhamanoj!

Just have in mind that controls might be slower than variables. But for small amounts of data, it can be a nice solution.
