VB delete last element in dynamic array

Question

I need a way to delete the last element in an array when I don't know how big the array is.

Basically I need the VB version of php array_pop, but nothing relevant seems to be appearing in search results.

Why not use a List(Of Type) which is way more modern and easy to manipulate (LINQ etc...)? — Eminem

I think that's the solution ...yes it is

@YsoL8 For VB6 it's not. The lower bound will be lost, and you'll get a runtime error. Please retag your question to clarify VB version.

@GSerg: are you sure? I'm using this code for changing array length exactly in vb6 and have never faced the situation when lower array bound differs from 0

@GSerg vb.net. At least that's on the course documentation :)

Yes, I am. Try: Dim arr() As Long : ReDim arr(1 To 10) : ReDim Preserve arr(UBound(arr) - 1). Run-time error 9: Subscript out of range. Of course, it'll work fine if the lower bound is 0. But in VB6, it's often not. Which is a great, great thing.

VB6:

redim preserve arr(lbound(arr) to ubound(arr) - 1)

VB.NET:

redim preserve arr(arr.GetUpperBound(0) - 1)
