Answer 1

Try using a list - you can create new structures and then add them to the list. Works much better than an array.



See http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/UploadFile/camurphy/csharpLists03302006170209PM/csharpLists.aspx for details.

Answer 2

I don't think you can within a struct, however you could just have the struct contain a pointer to a block of data that is handled as an array.



I'm not particularly 'up' on C++ but I'm sure that would cause all sorts of memory management issues that you'd need to cover first though.

Answer 3

Arrays cannot be resized dynamically. You will need to allocate a new array, and copy the contents of the old array to the new one.



This function helps copying the elements:

System.Array.Copy(oldArray, newArray, length);

Answer 4

array.resize == Read source!!

// Example = = http://dotnetperls.com/array-resize

using System;



class Program

{

static void Main()

{

// Initialize an array with 5 elements.

char[] arr = new char[5];

arr[0] = 'p';

arr[1] = 'y';

arr[2] = 't';

arr[3] = 'h';

arr[4] = 'o';



// We need an array with 6 elements!

// Use Array.Resize to make it bigger.

Array.Resize(ref arr, 6);



// Assign the last element.

arr[5] = 'n';



// Display the array

Console.WriteLine(new string(arr));

}

}



=== Output of the program ===

(Has 6 elements now.)
