What’s the difference between declaring a matrix like this:

 'C#
 string MinhaMatriz[] = []
 'VB
 Dim MinhaMatriz() As String = { }

and so:

 'C#
 string[] MinhaMatriz = []
 'VB
 Dim MinhaMatriz As String() = { }

or so:

 'C#
 System.Array<string> MinhaMatriz
 'VB
 Dim MinhaMatriz As System.Array(Of String)

    Use the Gettype (Object inheritance) method and check for yourself. I believe that despite the various forms of statement, it does not change at all what the object is.

Essentially the differences are syntactic. That is, it makes no difference to the program as you make the statement.

Note that in C# only the second form is valid in fact. In fact neither it, in the described form, after all does not exist the literal [] for array.

The third way doesn’t work exactly this way even in VB.NET. System.Array is not the same kind of array and it does not have a generic version as proposed. It has some tricks to simulate this but I think it is outside the scope of the question.

There is a difference between a list and an array. Its basic functions are virtually the same, but the Lists (List<T>) I, particularly, find more powerful and are more used.

// um array é declarado da seguinte forma:
string[] MeuArray = new string[5];



// Uma lista de objetos List<T> é declarado da seguinte forma
List<String> MinhaLista = new List<String>();
  • I don’t know this style of statement "string MinhaMatriz[] = []"

  • That’s not what I asked, the difference between statements of arrays, example: Dim teste() = { } and Dim teste As Object() = { }
