What have you tried?
Normally, an array has a fixed size, and it is time-consuming to change this size after the initialization.
I would rather use a List<string> instead, that would allow you to add/delete elements on the fly without having to worry about the size of the collection.

Arrays are not designed for adding or removing elements. All methods changing the size of array (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb348051(v=vs.110).aspx[^]) don't actually modify an array object; they create a new, populate it with the data from old array and return a new array object, not referentially identical to the original one.

For such operations, you need to use collections, with the closest to the array being System.Collections.Generic.Array<&ft;:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/6sh2ey19%28v=vs.110%29.aspx[^].

You can always make an array from a list instance: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/x303t819(v=vs.110).aspx[^].
