Notes
The FirstRowIndex function is used to determine the first element of an array. This is especially useful for writing code that loops through arrays so that you don't have to be aware of whether an array begins at 0 or 1 (they all begin at 0).
Arrays can have a maximum index value of 2,147,483,646.
Sample code
This code loops through an array and replaces each occurrence of X in an array with Y.
For i As Integer = names.FirstRowIndex To names.LastRowIndex
If names(i) = "X" Then
names(i) = "Y"
End If
Next
Compatibility
All project types on all supported operating systems.
