I wish to declare and initialize a 1D managed array of items.
If it was C# code, I would write it like this:
VdbMethodInfo[] methods = new VdbMethodI
The C++/CLI array declare & initialize syntax is not dissimilar from that in C#. Here's an example...
array<String^>^ myArray = gcnew array<String^> {"first", "second"};
