Hi

I am specifying a byte array of known size using
Dim data(100) As Byte

which creates an array with 0's. I would like to create the array with
a specific value instead of zeros, if my memory serves me correctly
this is like calloc (or is it malloc?) in c. What is the fastest way
to do this in vb .net?
Thanks
Kevin

Dim hashWithSaltBytes() As Byte = _
New Byte(hashBytes.Length + _
saltBytes.Length - 1) {}
