Use a vector datatype

Then do vectors of vectors

Take care,

This is my first venture into multidimensional C# arrays.  Prior to Sina's
message I thought they grew as needed but that seems to have been a false
assumption.  I've been digging through documentation and learned that my
initial declaration was indeed wrong.  The "dataTable" in my example isn't
from my code and was only meant to act as an illustration.

So, if arrays do not resize dynamically, how can I start with a table of
unknown number of rows and columns and store them in an array?

Thanks,
cdh

Hi Chris:
How adept are you with C# Arrays? I ask because the format of the definition

just looks wierd somehow, not looked at C# in a long time. Also, dataTable
might be treading on the DataTable keyword or the array was not
instantiated.
If you  are adept at using C# arrays I'll guess it is something I've just
not encountered, assigning objects in an array. Otherwise I'll dig into the
docs for Arrays and see if I can find anything.
