Paul,

This is simple in VB.NET. Instead of dim-ing it at the top of the class, declare it as a Property.

Class myForm
    Inherits ..Form ' not sure what namespace Winforms use here

    Private _myArray(100,4) as String

    Protected Property myArray() as String()
        Get
            Return _myArray
        End Get
        Set(Value as String())
            _myArray = Value
        End Get
...
End Class

The IDE will fill in most of the stuff for you after you declare the Property.
