string arrays (should be elementary)

Thanks very much!

Use ArrayList. It'l be faster I think. You can check for unique values with Contains() method. ArrayList ar=new ArrayList(1); string newstring=....; if(!ar.Contains(newstring)) ar.Add(newstring); Warning: to get values use: string getstring=ar[recno].ToString(); In usual array use static IndexOf() method: if(Array.IndexOf(myArray,newsstring)<0) myArray[recno]=newstring; recno++;
