How do I determine an array's dimension from the following IDL?

I have an IDL defined as follows:

[SendAs(IdlType. A, Length=78f, Dim=20f, Trim=true)]public StringBuilder[]
LEGAL_FREEFORM ;

In this case it is obvious that the Dim is 20 with a length of 78, however I
want to be able to determine this at run time.

This compiles but fails at runtime because it is not set to an instance of
the object:

int itr = inrec.LEGAL_FRE EFORM.GetLength (0);

I would like to determine both the dimension and length parameters (i.e., 20
and 78) inso far as I have potentially large StringBuilder objects that will
need to be chunked into this array prior to sending it to the mainframe.

I'm fairly new to ASP and must admit its proving a lot more unnecessarily complicated than the other languages I know. I feel this is because there aren't many good official resources out there to help do the most basic things.

It seems so easy to conceive of the code to delete...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
