Hello, Luigi!

Array has Resize method. Is that suitable for you?

Yes, like this:

string[] myArray = new string[4]{"Primo", "Secondo", "Terzo", "Quarto"};

Array.Resize(ref myArray, 2);

Thanks Vadym.

To be clear, you are talking about the *size* of an array, not the dimension.
Dimension means something else for arrays (i.e., 1 dimension is more common,
2 dimension is a rectangular array, etc.). You can't change an array's
dimension - a 1 dimensional array cannot be changed to a 2 dimensional array.

The use of "dimension" when talking about array size is probably due to VB's
unfortunate use of "ReDim" (short for re-dimension, but actually used for
re-sizing), and this improper keyword naming is still inflicted on the
current generation of VB programmers ;)

Wow - I just noticed that the C# debugger also calls array sizes "dimensions"
- I can't believe that this hasn't been corrected.
