playing with arrays

[VBnetster]

Hi sup? Just got out VB.net 2008 pretty much the first time i've touched this stuff. Anywayz, I know that an 'int' cant be converted to a 'string' (in most cases) but the following code will show you what im trying to do, i hope:

        Dim Arraystr(0) As String
        Dim txt As String = "hello"
        Dim i As Integer

        For i = 1 To Len(txt)

            Arraystr(i) = Chr(Mid(txt, i, 1))
            ReDim Preserve Arraystr(i)

        Next

I know theres other ways around this, but im doing it this way just for the purpose of learning Redim.

coolio, thanks.

well i do know that in VS 2008 you do not need to declare the For loop variable

i understand what your trying to do.
but you can try this, i know it works every with different string lengths

make a form with 1 textbox 1 button and a listbox but do not rename them

Public Class Form1
    Dim Arraystr(0) As String
    Dim txt As String

    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

        '' if the textbox is empty then exit the sub
        If TextBox1.Text = "" Then Exit Sub

        '' make txt the same as the text in textbox1
        txt = TextBox1.Text

        '' loop from 1 to the length of txt string
        For i = 1 To Len(txt)

            '' ReDim Arraystr to the value of i
            ReDim Preserve Arraystr(i)

            '' Arraystr is equal to a charcter of the string
            Arraystr(i) = Mid(txt, i, 1)

            '' add the current item to listbox1
            '' this is just for a visual representation
            ListBox1.Items.Add(Arraystr(i))

            '' Loop
        Next
    End Sub
End Class
