BC30638: Array bounds cannot appear in type specifiers

Array sizes cannot be declared as part of a data type specifier.

Error ID: BC30638

Example

The following example generates BC30638:

Dim array As Integer(8)

To correct this error

• Specify the size of the array immediately following the variable name instead of placing the array size after the type, as shown in the following example:

  Dim array(8) As Integer
  

• Define an array and initialize it with the desired number of elements, as shown in the following example:

  Dim array() As Integer = New Integer(8) {}
