Visual Basic Array Push

Question

I am currently iterating through a loop and redimensionalising my array every time I need to add a value (as you can imagine this takes some time for a redim every loop) is there a way I can implement a push similar to ruby or java? This would need to save the processing time needed to redimensionalise the array every time I need to add a value to it.

Cheers Martin

Answer 1

You'd be better off using a List (Of Type). Then you can just call the Add method.

For example:

Dim foo As New List(Of String)
foo.Add("Bar")

Answer 2

You can concat the array, with a array containing only the new item, or multiple.

Array.Concat({Item}).ToArray
