.net - VB.NET Empty String Array - Stack Overflow

@RandyEppinger is correct (and has been for the last 3 years...). str(0) does produce an array of length 1 (being 0-indexed means the length is +1 the declaration). I should've put str(-1) (which, when +1 gives you a length of 0). – Mark Brackett Jun 11 .
