Solving "Value of type 'String' cannot be converted to '1-dimensional array of String'."

While working with String Arrays, the most common error we come across will be :

"Value of type 'String' cannot be converted to '1-dimensional array of String'."

As in a hurry we forget that we are dealing with arrays.

Usually we do declare an array as

Dim arr as String[] or Dim arr[] as String


But in a hurry, during initialization we try

arr = "6" or
arr = {"6"} or
arr = New String("6")


But still we get the same error.

Initialize the array as below :

arr = New String() {"6"}

and it will solve our problem.
