C# declare empty string array

I need to declare an empty string array and i'm using this code

string[] arr = new String[0]();

But I get "method name expected" error.

What's wrong?

You can try this

string[] arr = {};

Arrays' constructors are different. Here are some ways to make an empty string array:

var arr = new string[0];
var arr = new string[]{};
var arr = Enumerable.Empty<string>().ToArray()

(sorry, on mobile)

If you must create an empty array you can do this:

string[] arr = new string[0];

If you don't know about the size then You may also use `List<string>` as well like

var valStrings = new List<string>();

// do stuff...

string[] arrStrings = valStrings.ToArray();

Your syntax is wrong:

string[] arr = new string[]{};

or

string[] arr = new string[0];

Those curly things are sometimes hard to remember, that's why there's excellent [documentation](

// Declare a single-dimensional array
int[] array1 = new int[5];
