How do I pass the value of "_contents" into "SimpleList". I want the ability to limit the amount of objects in the list dynamically.

Public Class SimpleList
       Implements IList

    Private _contents(8) As Object
    Private _count As Integer

    Public Sub New()

        _count = 0
    End Sub

Hi Ruffone ,

Ruffone

How do I pass the value of "_contents" into "SimpleList".

You could create a public method to pass the value to class and in the method you could do some operations like limit the amount of objects ,such as :

Class Customer
   Public ReadOnly Property Tags As New List(Of String)
   Public ReadOnly Property Name As String = ""
   Public ReadOnly Property File As String

   Sub New(file As String)
      Me.File = file
   End Sub
End Class

Your response doesn't get me to where I'd like to be. I what to be able to do "SimpleList(5)" 5 being the amount of objects that the list will hold [Reference]

Hi Ruffone,

Code below is for your reference:

Class Customer
    Private _contents As Object

    Private _count As Integer



    Sub New(length As Integer)
        Me._count = length
        Dim countersA(length) As Integer
        For intX = 0 To length
            countersA(intX) = 5
        Next intX
        _contents = countersA


    End Sub
End Class

    Dim ar = New Customer(6)
