Why are you wanting to fill an emtpy array?
</div>


<div>
I guess you have a reason why I wouldn't want to do that? &nbsp;The method is actually going to clear a previously used array that has other data back to all zeros.
</div>


<div>
Use the ReDim statement for example if you do something like this:<br />
<br />
Dim myArray(10, 10) As Integer<br />
' ...<br />
' Fill the array and process the data<br />
<br />
' Reset the array to all zeros<br />
ReDim myArray10, 10)<br />
<br />
All elements of the array are now zero.<br />

<div>
Sorry; syntax error: should be<br />
<br />
ReDim myArray(10, 10)
</div>


<div>
This code needs to go within a method that can receive an array of varying size. &nbsp;It is not always going to be (10, 10). &nbsp;It could be anything.
</div>


<div>
The problem I see is that when you use an array you use memory.<br />
If the array is finished with what it is doing, then just redim the array and start again.<br />
It is easier to test a field (or whatever data is looking at in the array) to see if it is empty then place zero in data.
</div>


<div>
So when I first declare an array, is it automatically filled with zeros? &nbsp;Or is it filled with garbage data until it is initialized in the program with actual numbers?

I'm trying to build a method that will fill any array with zeros. &nbsp;I would like to be able to pass the array into the method and have that array returned filled with zeros.<br />
<br />
If there is a method that already does this that would obviously be even better.<br />
<br />
Will for Each work? &nbsp;What would the syntax on that be in order to fill up a multidimensional array?

VB.NET - Fill a 2 dimensional array with zeros

The .NET Framework is not specific to any one programming language; rather, it includes a library of functions that allows developers to rapidly build applications. Several supported languages include C#, VB.NET, C++ or ASP.NET.

.NET Programming

Visual Basic .NET (VB.NET) is an object-oriented programming language implemented on the .NET framework, but also supported on other platforms such as Mono and Silverlight. Microsoft launched VB.NET as the successor to the Visual Basic language. Though it is similar in syntax to  Visual Basic pre-2002, it is not the same technology,
