I have the need to create an array of objects. Now this sound fairly trivial
but I can't figure this out.

I have one class called PostingObjectService that has a method GetPostings
where the problem begins (class is below) where in the foreach loop I need
to add Postings to the PostingObject[] array which will be returned by this
method. Then I have the class PostingObject where I am unsure how to create
the array or add to the array of PostingObjects.

Please help.

Thanks, John

 public class PostingObjectService
 {
  public PostingObjectService()
  {
   //
   // TODO: Add constructor logic here
   //
  }
 public PostingObject[] GetPostings(string sChannelGuid, DateTime
dtStartDate, DateTime dtEndDate)
  {
   PostingObject[] oReturnedCol = null;

   //Get the current channel (News channel) based on the passed GUID to the
method
   Channel aChannel = CMSAPI.GetChannel(sChannelGuid);

   PostingCollection oPostCol = aChannel.Postings;
   oPostCol.SortByStartDate( false );

   foreach ( Posting oPost in oPostCol )
   {
    // If month has changed
    PostingObject oNewMonth = new PostingObject( dtStartDate, dtEndDate );
    //oNewMonth.objPosting[0].
    //oNewMonth
    //oPost.StartDate
   }
   return oReturnedCol;

  }
 }
}
