Hi all,

I'm getting a runtime error for the below program, though it compiles
fine.  The culprit seems to be the managed array--it doesn't exist.
What am I doing wrong?

// OverL2_simple.cpp : main project file.

#include "stdafx.h"
#include "AClass.h"

using namespace System;

int main(array<System::String ^> ^args)
{
   Console::WriteLine(L"Hello World");

    AClass ^A10 = gcnew AClass(); //see AClass.h, .cpp below for
declaration/definition
    for (int j=0; j<(A10->a1->Length); j++){
        Console::WriteLine("a1 is: {0}", A10->a1[j]);
    }

    // Unhandled Exception: System.NullReferenceException: Object
reference not set to an instance of an object.
   return 0;
}
