Hi
how can I declared initial size of array in structure. I have below code in
c++ and translate this to vb.net. but get this error: "Arrays declared as
structure members cannot be declared with an initial size"

c++:
typedef struct{
        prWChar           DeviceInternalName[512];
        prWChar              ModelName[32];
        prUInt16          Generation;
    }prDeviceInfoTable;

vb.net:
Structure prDeviceInfoTable
        Dim DeviceInternalName(0 to 511) As Char
        Dim ModelName(0 to 31) As Char
        Dim Generation As Integer
    End Structure

how can I?
Very thanks
