VB to .NET

WARNING #1042

Array 1% may need to have individual elements initialized.

Description

This EWI is caused when a fixed-size array is declared in Visual Basic 6. This EWI is emitted to indicate a possible difference between .NET and Visual Basic 6 when handling types that map to structs in arrays.

Recommendations

As of VB6 AI Migrator version 2.2 this EWI can be disregarded as the ArrayHelper class will handle initialization. In previous versions it might be necessary to review each instance of this EWI and verify that the migrated code is functionally equivalent.

Sample VB6 

Private m_Rates(50) As InterestRateTypes


Target VB.NET 

'UPGRADE_WARNING: (1042) Array m_Rates may need to have individual elements initialized.

Private m_Rates() As InterestRateTypes = ArraysHelper.InitializeArray(Of InterestRateTypes())(NewInteger(){51})


Expected VB.NET 

Undetermined expected code, final resolution will vary on each case. Though in the provided example, there is no need to provide any additional initialization beyond what the VB6 AI Migrator has included. Also take note of Visual Basic: How to: Initialize an Array Variable.

Target C# 

//UPGRADE_WARNING: (1042) Array m_Rates may need to have individual elements initialized.

staticprivateInterestRateTypes[] m_Rates = ArraysHelper.InitializeArray<InterestRateTypes[]>(newint[]{51});


Expected C# 

Undetermined expected code, final resolution will vary on each case. Though in the provided example, there is no need to provide any additional initialization beyond what the VB6 AI Migrator has included.
