The thread is about me needing help (again) Wink

Want to say thanks for all of you that have helped me before, this community is great!

Back to the topic, is there a way to find out how many entries there is in a Array?

Dim splCommand() As String

Then I want to loop through the Array by 1 so it displays splCommand(1), splcommand(2) and so on until there is no more "text" left.

Language is ofcourse Visual Basic .NET

Thanks! Big Smile

for x = lbound(splCommand) to ubound(splCommand) 
   if not splCommand(x) = "" then 
      msgbox splCommand(x) 
   end if
next x

Also:

1.0:
Dim x As String
For Each x in splCommand
   If Not x = "" Then
      MsgBox(x)
   End If
End For

1.1 and beyond:
For Each x As String In splCommand
   If Not x = "" Then
      MsgBox(x)
   End If
End For

I'd have to dig a little deeper into the IL (I'm on the deployment team, not the compiler) but I would imagine they are the same.

However, these kinds of "optimizations" aren't really going to help you improve performance at all.

Thanks, I have another question.. Scripting Runtime works in VB.NET aswell? And if, can you show me a example. I am travelling tomorrow, to Cyprus (holiday) and I am taking my Pocket PC with me and I want to make my app to run code from a file. Thanks again!

We have a code analysis tool  and I believe this is one of the things it flagged. Myself and another developer discussed  this somewhat and wondered if this makes it any faster. I guess it is the same thought of usingString.Compare("a","b") instead of  "a"="b". In the analysis tool it actual says this way is faster.

I would have thought that Equals() has to do a comparison operation anyway, and assuming that the compiler/pre-processor doesn't replace it that means your adding extra unnecessary overhead to a comparison.
 
Just as a note, I use a For loop as opposed to the For Each because it means you can navigate and alter the array items.

myArray(X) = NewValue
myArray(X - 1) = BeforeNewValue
myArray(X + 1) = AfterNewValue

Yeah, it's very important to be _able_ to change the current item or do some other stuff to it than just check it.

But, as I asked before - is scripting still supported? I really need to have it, or else I go in two weeks wondering if the code I wrote in Word will work. It still work and does it work on Pocket PCs ?

Speaking of comparisons, I scanned an article today about problems with VB.Net diverging from the .Net framework to, supposedly, accomodate old VB programmers. It has to do with Stacks and Heaps. I forget what it was, I have the article at work, ill put more info up on here about it tomorrow.
