VS.NET 2003 syntax

Dim a() As Integer = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
Dim sum As Integer
For Each item As Integer in a
sum += item
Next

Of course you change Integer to any data type you want.

If you do not care for For Each, you can use any other type of loop you
want.

Hope this helps

I was suggesting to Armin that with "Write a loop" he was being not
<quite> as helpful as he could have been.
