Returning Arrays in VB Functions

Well yes one can return arrays in VB functions but internally the arrays are still passed back as Variants or objects.

Thus a function definition like the one below:-

Public Function WeekDays() as String()
WeekDays = Array( "Sun", "Mon", "Tue", "Wed", "Thu", "Fri", "Sat" )
End Function

is perfectly valid as this is a function which would return a string array. However as internally arrays are handled as objects or variants the following statement is not possible :

Msgbox "The first day of the Week is " & WeekDays(0)


Instead what one would be expected to do is this :-
Dim strArr() as string
strArr = WeekDays()
Msgbox "The first day of the Week is " & strArr(0)
