Initialize String list

Hi Team,

How can i initialize string? I will be adding element to it on run time inside a for loop

Thanks

Hi,
You have to make the difference between String Arrays and String Lists.

How to initialize both :

myStringArray = new System.String(){}
myStringList = new System.Collections.Generic.List(Of String)

Best regards,
Mustafa

its string array…

if I try to do something like this I am getting error - “Index was outside the bounds of the array.”
myStringArray = new System.String(){}
myStringArray(0) = “Test Data”

Hi @Deeipauk

You might need to specify the length of the array. Try to I initialize it with specified length and let us know if it helped:
new System.String(3){}

Hi @Deeipauk,

arrvariable - String

arrvariable={"a","b","c","d"}

you can directly assign the value.its fixed length if you are going to dynamic go to list of string.

listvariable- list of string variable

use the below code to create a object

listvariable=new list(of String)

Only use arrays if you know the number of items it will contain. Otherwise, go for Lists :wink:

Thanks everyone for the response @loginerror @mustafa.altinbasak

I have already changed it into the Lists, I was bit hesitating to use “Add to collection” and all imagining it will complicate my code :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: . After I made it to List String and with add to collections component it got easier. I am able to finish it
