I am trying to upload some data to a WebService, I need to create an instance of an object and set it's properties.

The parent object has a .message property which is a one dimensional array of MessageObjects. I have successfully created my MessageObject but can't find out how to store it into the .message array I thought it should be ;

ParentObject.message(0) = New MessageObjectClass
ParentObject.message(0) = myBuiltMessage

But I get an error that ParentObject.Message(0) is "Object reference not set to an instance of an object."

Somehow I need to dimension the message() array or in some way instantiate an element, I am new to .Net and not dealt with property arrays before, how can I do this?
