The Add method accepts a params array. If you're unfamiliar with this concept, google it, and you'll see how it works. Basically, a params array accepts zero-to-many objects either one at a time, or in an actual array. The method itself treats it as an array, but it gives you the flexibility of calling the method the way you're doing it.
The advantage is that you have the choice of doing it both ways - you can put the values in one at a time, or you can already have an array previously defined, and pass that array in. The method doesn't know the difference, and doesn't care. On Apr 9, 7:04 am, Mike <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > Here is a really basic question that I am struggling with.
