Is there a better way other than storing 'key0', 'key1', 'key2', 'key3', etc. Because with multi-dimnsional arrays, this can get messy quickly. Is my best bet to serialise the object, and store it in there as ...Show All

FileCount% = 5 In Vb.net 2005 this no longer seems to happen.  I use option explicit off and really love when the variable name changes, because A: I know ...Show All
