Passing a multi-dimensional array to a routine is different in .NET. For example, say you have a two-dimensional array called aStrMy2DArray(10,1) as a String data type. Use this code to pass it to a routine.

Private Sub MyRoutine(ByVal aStrMy2DArray as String (,)) ' aStrMy2DArray as String (,) putting a blank parenthesis  ' with comma to define the number of your dimension  ' one comma means 2D array, 2 commas means 3D array, so on so forth ' ... your code here...End Sub' and to execute the routine just accepting array parametercall MyRoutine(aStrMy2DArray)
