vb.net - How to assign a value to an array from a combobox -

the code have is:

dim dbase() string = nil dbase(0) = db_combobox.text

i have declared dbase array , assigned nothing, db_combobox combobox.

for assignment statement, i'm getting next error: "reference 'dbase' has value of 'nothing'"

what reason error, , how can take value combobox , save in array?

let's @ code:

dim dbase() string = nil dbase(0) = db_combobox.text

especially first line. first line creates variable can refer array, = nothing portion explicitly tells it, "do not create real array here yet". have, effectively, pointer doesn't point anything.

i here need list collection can append on time:

dim dbase new list(of string)() dbase.add(db_combobox.text)
