How can I create an empty one-dimensional string array?
Not sure why you'd want to, but the C# way would be
string[] newArray = new string[0];
I'm guessing that VB won't be too dissimilar to this.
If you're building an empty array so you can populate it with values later, you really should consider using
List
and converting it to an array (if you really need it as an array) with
newListOfString.ToArray();
