<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D">The problem with arrays is that they are made with a fixed size.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D">You can easily have a textbox (or NumericInput) control, then a button that adds to the array. You will need to have a counter variable that keeps track of where you are in the array.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D">Or you could just use a List<T> which has methods for adding and removing from the list (List is just an array with lots of helpful functions that make it easier to use).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:11.0pt">C# coding question - what is the best way to allow a USER to enter data into an array using a GUI, not the console?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:11.0pt">I’ve used InputBoxes and loops with Visual Basic, however InputBoxes don’t seem to be thing in C#, without adding the Microsoft.VisualBasic namepace.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:11.0pt">I can add data to an array during design time easily enough, but I want the USER to be able to click on a button and be prompted to enter data, which then populates the array.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:11.0pt">Or am I going about this the wrong way entirely and should be using another technique?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
