Example

This example uses the Collection object’s Count property to specify how many iterations are required to remove all the elements of the collection called MyClasses. When collections are numerically indexed, the base is 1 by default. Since collections are reindexed automatically when a removal is made, the following code removes the first member on each iteration.

Dim NumNum = 1 To MyClasses.Count    ' Remove name from the collection.
    MyClasses.Remove 1    ' Default collection numeric indexes    ' begin at 1.
