One liner      string   items   new string      quot a quot    quot b quot             this adds  quot c quot  to the string array      items   new List lt string gt  items     quot c quot    ToArray

You should take a look at the List object  Lists tend to be better at changing dynamically like you want  Arrays not so much

Use List lt string gt  instead of string     List allows you to add and remove items with good performance

The obvious suggestion would be to use a List lt string gt  instead  which you will have already read from the other answers  This is definitely the best way in a real development scenario   Of course  I want to make things more interesting  my day that is   so I will answer your question directly   Here are a couple of functions that will Add and Remove elements from a string       string   Add string   array  string newValue       int newLength   array Length   1       string   result   new string newLength        for int i   0  i  lt  array Length  i            result i    array i        result newLength -1    newValue       return result     string   RemoveAt string   array  int index       int newLength   array Length - 1       if newLength  lt  1                return array   probably want to do some better logic for removing the last element              this would also be a good time to check for  index out of bounds  and throw an exception or handle some other way      string   result   new string newLength       int newCounter   0      for int i   0  i  lt  array Length  i                  if i    index   it is assumed at this point i will match index once only                       continue                    result newCounter    array i           newCounter                 return result

Since arrays implement IEnumerable lt T gt  you can use Concat   string   strArr      foo    bar     strArr   strArr Concat new string      something    new        Or what would be more appropriate would be to use a collection type that supports inline manipulation

If you really won t  or can t  use a generic collection instead of your array  Array Resize is c  s version of redim preserve   var  oldA   new     1 2 3 4   Array Resize ref oldA 10   foreach var i in oldA  Console WriteLine i     1 2 3 4 0 0 0 0 0 0

Don t use an array - use a generic List lt T gt  which allows you to add items dynamically   If this is not an option  you can use Array Copy or Array CopyTo to copy the array into a larger array

You can  use this snippet   static void Main string   args               Console WriteLine  Enter number             int fnum   0          bool chek   Int32 TryParse Console ReadLine   out fnum                         Console WriteLine  Enter number             int snum   0          chek   Int32 TryParse Console ReadLine   out snum             Console WriteLine  Enter number             int thnum   0          chek   Int32 TryParse Console ReadLine   out thnum             int   arr   AddToArr fnum snum thnum            IOrderedEnumerable lt int gt  oarr   arr OrderBy delegate int s                          return s                        Console WriteLine  Here your result               oarr ToList   FindAll delegate int num                 Console WriteLine num                return num  gt  0                       public static int   AddToArr params int   arr         return arr      I hope this will help to you  just change the type
