Array bounds cannot appear in type specifiers

2012-11-16

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

Error ID: BC30638

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 Array2() As Integer = New Integer(8) {}
```
