Object and Class Problem

[kiz]

Hi,
I am creating a small application to teach myself some vb.net. The application just adds, view, deletes a customers. The info is not goin to be saved to file yet so I'm just concentrating on getting the application working. Well to my problem. I have a class called Customer and it contains Name, address etc. I can create one instance of the class when i run my application but I want to be able to create mulitple instances of the class everytime the user clicks add. I tried to create an array such as Dim Customer(20) As New Customer but got and error telling me that isnt possible. Can anyone help, is there a better way.
Thanks

Hello.

Your definition of the array is wrong. An Array consists of each separate item.

'can't work
Dim customers(20) as New Customer

'this will work
Dim customers(20) as Customer

customers(0) = New Customer
...

I'd suggest that you use an ArrayList instead:

Dim list as new ArrayList()

list.add(New Customer)
list(0).whatEverPropertyYouHave = newValue
...
