Used to declare fixed-sized arrays.

<System.AttributeUsage(System.AttributeTargets.Field, _
   Inherited := False, AllowMultiple := False)> _
Public NotInheritable Class VBFixedArrayAttribute
   Inherits System.Attribute

Remarks

Visual Basic .NET arrays are of variable length by default. This attribute is useful when using Visual Basic .NET file input and output functions, such as FileGet and FilePut that require fixed length arrays.

Example

Structure Book
   <VBFixedArray(6)> Public Chapter() As Integer
End Structure

Sub WriteData()
   Dim FileNum As Integer = FreeFile()
   Dim MyBook As Book
   '  Add code here to populate the array.
   FileOpen(FileNum, "C:\testfile", OpenMode.Binary, _
            OpenAccess.Write, OpenShare.Default)
   FilePut(FileNum, MyBook) ' Write data.
   FileClose(1)
End Sub
