Return array in Visual Basic .NET

To return an array in Visual Basic .NET, you need to declare a function with a specified return type as the array type. You can then create and populate the array within the function, and return it to the caller.

Here is an example of a function that returns an array of integers:

Function GetIntArray() As Integer()
    Dim arr() As Integer = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
    Return arr
End Function

In this example, we declare a function named GetIntArray() that returns an array of integers (As Integer()). Inside the function, we create an array of integers and populate it with values. Finally, we return the array to the caller using the Return statement.

You can then call this function from somewhere else in your code to retrieve the array:

Dim myArray() As Integer = GetIntArray()

This line declares a new array of integers named myArray and assigns it the value returned by GetIntArray(). Now, myArray contains the values {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}.
