Array initializer cannot be specified for a non constant dimension; use the empty initializer '{}'
An array initializes a dimension that is not known at compile time.
The following code generates this error.
Dim j As Integer
Dim intArray As Integer = New Integer(1, j) {{0, 100}, {1,101}}
The following code avoids the error.
Dim intArray As Integer = New Integer(1, j) {}
For i As Integer = 0 To j
intArray(0, i) = i
intArray(1, i) = 100 + i
Next i
Error ID: BC30949
To correct this error
If possible, specify a constant dimension in the array declaration.
If you cannot specify a constant dimension, then you must initialize the array using a loop when the nonconstant dimension becomes known.
