as String... Function for DataSource ?

[Adrian Turner]

Hi, I have used this simple approach to build a dropdown control.

Dim Times() as string = {"00:00","00:15"}
Times1.Datasource=Times:Times1.Databind()

What I'm wondering if I can do something like...
Dim Times() as string = {BuildTimes()}

It doesnt seem to work. I dont know if the syntax I'm using is incorrect, or
if it's just not possible. Any help would be appreciated.

I think I might be doing it incorrect. I am using Function BuildTimes() as
String.
I have tried removing the Brackets an it errors. Is a String Array different ?

regards,

Adrian

Thanks for you help. I will look at what you sent, but I just used split and
it works fine. Thanks.

And what is the error...?

Is a string array different from a string? Well, yes it is:

However, there is little (if any) difference between "Dim v As String()" and
"Dim v() As String"

Please bottom-post the entire BuildTimes() function.

Is BuildTimes() a function which returns a string array? If so, then you
don't need the brackets...

Specifically, you don't need the BRACES. Our British friends will disagree,
but I say there are no brackets in

Dim Times() as string = {BuildTimes()}

just parentheses and braces.
