possibe to delete string from string[] ?

[Beemer Biker]

I wanted to truncate a string array by removing the last item.
"strResult.length = n-1" does not work as the length is read only. I tried
strResult[n] = null and just got a null. Also tried strResult[n].Remove(0)
and all it did was delete characters, not remove the string. I can create a
string the correct size using "new string [n-1]" and then copy but it seems
there should be an easier way. I cant seem to make VS 2008 get me good help
on "string[]" It is not the same as StringBuilder and is just an array of
strings is it not?

...TIA..

Nope. When working with a plain old array, that's all you get. You ought to
consider using List<stringinstead. It still does that under the covers,
but up front you get nice things like Remove().

By design arrays are of fixed side. I would suggest using a generic List of
strings: List<string>, which you can manipulate as you wish. Removing the
last item can be done by calling "lst.RemoveAt(lst.Count - 1)".
