[bayouprophet@yahoo.com]

Why is visual 8.0 is giving my the following error when running the following code.

Option Explicit On
Public Class Form1

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


'Example 6 - For each w/array
Dim myArray() As String = ("Bob","Beth","Conrad","Grant")

Dim person As String
For Each person In myArray()
MessageBox.Show(person)
Next

End Sub
End Class

Error 1 ')' expected. C:\Users\bayouprophet\Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Projects\Lesson05\Lesson05\Form1.vb 8 41 Lesson05
Error 2 Name 'myArray' is not declared. C:\Users\bayouprophet\Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Projects\Lesson05\Lesson05\Form1.vb 11 28 Lesson05

Put braces around your elements when initializing the array.

When referencing myArray don't include the parenthesis.

Option Explicit On
Public Class Form1

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

		'Example 6 - For each w/array
		Dim myArray() As String = {"Bob", "Beth", "Conrad", "Grant"}

		Dim person As String
		For Each person In myArray
			MessageBox.Show(person)
		Next

	End Sub
End Class

In the future please use [ C O D E ] tags to format code for readability.
