Help. Dot Net keep flagging an error remdim

[WAYNEL]

Hi

I am trying to re-write some of the example code that Agilent gives for
VB to VB.Net.
In .Net I keep getting the error 'cannot change the number of
dimensions of an array'.

I have paste the module I am having an issue with. Can anyone help!
Thanks

Hi,

You are trying to make 1 dimension array 2 dimensions that is
why you are getting the error. Try this instead

Dim readings(,) As Double

ReDim readings(10, 10)
