Ron,

Using Mark's suggestion you will create a public array. I have a rule to avoid public variables if it's possible. If you need your array for this control only, you should create this array as a property of your control and not make it public.

First of all, you should decide, what would be the scope of this array, then you will use the suggestion, which is appropriate. I & Eric understood your original post, as you want to make your array accessable everythere in your application.
