dynamic array

[majiofpersia]

Hi all,
I am wondering whether any of you knows how to initialize a dynamically
sized multi-dimensional array? I can't use arrayLists, hashtables, or
anything that is key value pair set-up... I need multi-dimensional array in
C#...it is asking me to initialize it with size when I write :

string[,,] myarray = new string[,,];

any suggestions are appreciated,

Thanks,

- Maji

An ArrayList is a vector, not a key pair construct. It sounds perfect
for your needs.
string[,,] myarray = new string[,,];

If do you not know the size of your dimensions, the ArrayList will come
in handy as you can simply add another ArrayList to achieve your second
dimension at run time.

Thanks for your responses,

If I am going to use arraylist ... how can I add items to a 3 dimensional
arraylist?

I like the class method suggested by Val as well .. I am just wondering
whether it is the only way ...

Thanks again,

The ArrayList will accept any type of object so you can add an ArrayList
as an element of an existing ArrayList.
