I have this piece of code:

VB code:

---

Dim moniker As IMoniker() = New IMoniker(0) {}

---

Is this an array initlialized with length 0?
Is it right to "translate" it as:

C# code:

---

IMoniker[] moniker = new IMoniker[0];

---

?

I'm translating a program, and there's an error happening when using that moniker. It works fine with VB, but not with C#, and I guess the error is in the declaration.

Edit: I tried to change to:

C# code:

---

IMoniker[] moniker = new IMoniker[1];

---

I'm not sure about that 0 in the VB code. Is that the length or just an index? I'd appreciate a little info about that.

When declaring an array in C# it is length of the array.

No, it's an array with index upper bound = 0. (lower bound = 0 if unspecified)

So in VB I don't need to state the length?

If you don't want to state the lenght at the declaration and deal with array resising I would suggest that you use a typed collection.

In C#
System.Collections.Generic.List<IMoniker> moniker = new System.Collections.Generic.List<IMoniker>();
