Index was outside the bounds of the array

[yat862]

hi, i have a problem of Index was outside the bounds of the array. i don't understand how to amend the existing solution in my case. anyone could help me? the message error is System.IndexOutOfRangeException {"Index was outside the bounds of the array. below is the code & the error at line 109 (strTextOut = arrMicrosensor(intNum).strCode)

This is a vb.net question. I have asked the mods to move it there...

Your error occurs because you are looping through "intNum" but the last loop can not find the number. Remove the -1 at the start of your loop, should be fine then.

For intNum = 0 To intNum

This also seems like a problem because you are setting a value to intNum whilst looping intNum. Makes no sense to me. You should have something like...

intNum2 = 10

For intNum = 1 To intNum2

ok, tq but I still stuck
here is the whole code of the program. hope you're willing to check it.

As I suspected, you gave a value to intNum and then tried to loop through the value wich is constant/static...

Try thye following...

intNum = CInt(txtNrSensor.Text) ''Lets say 17 is returned...

Dim intLoop As Integer ''We'll be using THIS to loop through all sensors...
    For intLoop = 1 To intNum ''Loop from 1, 0 will be a non-existing sensor. Remove -1, we want to loop through every sensor from 1 to last sensor, not second last...

    ''All your code and inner loops here as you have it...
Next intLoop ''Will loop 17 times, no error...

[yat862]

owh, ok i'll try again.
TQ so much

[AndreRet]

No problem. :)

If this helped, please mark as solved, thanx.

Lines 40 and 41 of your OP.

Dim intNrStations As Integer 'Total number of station
ReDim arrMicrosensor(intNrStations)

The array "arrMicrosensor" has a length of 1 after these statements execute as "intNrStations" will have an initial value of zero. "ReDim arrMicrosensor(intNrStations)" is equivalent to: ReDim arrMicrosensor(0 To 0); therefore, any array index reference greater than zero will cause an out of bounds error.

Also remember that in Vb.Net arrays use zero based indexing.

[AndreRet]

Thanx TinMn, did not even go further than original error on line 190.

yat, have a look at the above, might throw errors as well....
