Hi

I wounder if there is a way to get the values from array's dimensions, without knowing how many dimensions the array has.
I know how to do if I know the array's dimensions, but not a clue if I don't
know the array's dimensions.

Sub getArr(ByVal arr)
Dim s as String
Dim i, j As Integer

For i = 0 To arr.rank

For j = 0 To arr.getupperbound(1)

s = s + arr(i, j) + " "

Next
s = s + vbCrLf
End If

Next

End Sub

I hope someone can give me a clue.

Please use the code tags when posting your code examples:

:code:

Shouldn't For j = 0 To arr.getupperbound(1) be For j = 0 To arr.getupperbound(i)?

Quote

Array.Rank Property

Gets the rank (number of dimensions) of the Array.

Hi
Yes it should be an i in the getupperbound method,Sorry. But knowing just the number of dimensions doesn't help me to retrieve all the elements from the array. I don't know how many for loops I have to do, to iterate through the dimensions. Isn't there a collection of the dimensions so I can use a for each loop or something, to retrieve all the values for that dimension?

Please help

Dont know exactly but maybe :

For example if its an StringArray:

For each StringPart as String in StringArray
  Stringpart.('what do you want to to with it)
next

this should work for a normal array, don't really know for a multi array.
If that doesn't work why not use the method UBound, it will give you the size of the array

See Array.GetEnumerator Method

Or

Imports System
Module Module1
	Sub Main()
		Dim myArr(5, 6, 7) As Integer
		Dim counter As Integer = 0

		For Each i32 As Integer In myArr
			Console.WriteLine("[{0}] {1}", counter , i32)

			counter += 1
		Next

		Console.ReadKey()
	End Sub
End Module
