Is Result an IssueEN?

If so, then note that Components is an array of ComponentEN[]. So you must assign the same type and not an ArrayList for example.

Result is: Dim Result As New Countersoft.Gemini.Commons.IssueEN

I don't know why when i set Result.Components(0) = New Countersoft.Gemini.Commons.IssueComponent

when i hover over Result.Components, and interogate that, Result.Components(0) is nothing. Therefore result.Components(0).ComponentID = 3 (for example) failes because it is not set to an object.

That is due to the internal working of the IssueEN class.

You should create the array yourself and then assign it.

Dim c(0) as IssueComponentEN

set c(0) = new IssueComponentEN

....

set Result.Components = c

Ok I will give that a try later, I did something similar and got errors on assigning to the Result.Components (it was trying to do an equality test rather than assignment, from what i could tell) I'll let you know how it goes in a few hours.

Thanks, that seemed to work. I have similar issue with attachments, but will be the same issue i suspect. One question that now comes to mind, once you have added the array of FileEN to the attachments property, how should you go about adding more? Obviously, not being an IList(Of FileEN) for example, there is no .Add() method? How can more be added?

The best way is to create a new List of the type and add to it, at the end assign it back to the issue (C# code):

List<IssueComponentEN> lst =new List<IssueComponentEN>(issue.Components);

lst.Add(....);

issue.Components = lst.ToArray();
