Passing a Multi-Dimensional Array

[SQLScott]

I have looked all over and I cannot find an example or information on passing
a multi-dimensional array. Well, that is not true. I found a close example
in C++ but it didn't work when I "converted it" to VB.Net.

My receiving method looks like this:

Public DoIt(ByRef Array( , ) as string) as boolean

but what I am not clear on is what the parameter looks like in my calling
routine:

Dim result as boolean
result = DoIt(Array(???))

Thoughts?

Thanks Herfried. I was able to get it to work in my simple test app
beautifully, but when i tried to implement it in my Web Service, it returned
the following error:

WebService.MethodName can not be reflected.--> Multi-dimensional arrays are
not supported. Use a jagged array instead.

Oh well...back to the drawing board!

Another related, but unresolved, issue.

vb.net 2002
A public multi-dimensional array(10,10,10) with public indices i,j,k in
Module1 does not pass information between forms. A one-dimensional
array(1000), or a scalar does. How come?
