I pasted the code into paste bin at http://pastebin.com/aWVms2ju, to try the code, create a new windows forms application in visual basic .net, make sure the form is named form1 and then replace the form1.vb with that code in paste bin


The goal is to make a history of what was painted onto the form. This is just a little piece of the program I am making and it is one of two major problems I am having :[.

The two dimensional array gives a null reference error if I don’t assign it that value where I declared it. Now it is saying the index is out of array bounds. I don’t understand this because it is a dynamically expanding array… or so I thought.

I'm not sure if this would help, but maybe try a collection? I always liked them more. And I thought they were much easier for dynamic "arrays."

google says a dynamic array is a collection…?

>_> You don't know what a collection is? http://articles.techrepublic.com.com/5100-10878_11-5800272.html <– First google link for "collection vb6"

i just searched collection. cuz i dont use vb6 -.-

What do you use? :p

vb .net 2010 ultimate

Collections are the same.

oh. lol. well google makes it sound like arrays are a kind of a colletion. so what is the difference?

How they're used. Collections are easier, in my opinion. Coll.Add("wat") is all you need to do to add something to the collection, I think. Sorry, I don't like VB.

lol. im pretty sure u can do that with arrays in vb too :P. lol. ty though

Just try a collection. None of these posts would've happened if you would've just tried it, and your problem would've most likely been solved.

And if a collection doesn't work, then I'm sure I can help you if I actually take a little time to explain it.
