Why wouldn't `new int[x]{}` be valid???

array

In MonoDevelop I have the following code which compiles:

int[] row = new int[indices.Count]{};

However, at run-time, I get:

Matrix.cs(53,53): Error CS0150: A constant value is expected (CS0150) (testMatrix)

I know what this error means and forces me to then resize the array:

int[] row = new int[indices.Count]{};
Array.Resize(ref row, rowWidth);

Is this something I just have to deal with because I am using MonoDevelop on Linux? I was certain that under .Net 3.5 I was able to initialize an array with a variable containing the width of the array. Can anyone confirm that this is isolated? If so, I can report the bug to bugzilla.

Dynamic Type to do away with Reflection

as seen on West-Wind - Search for 'West-Wind'
The dynamic type in C# 4.0 is a welcome addition to the language. One thing I’ve been doing a lot with it is to remove explicit Reflection code that’s often necessary when you ‘dynamically’ need to walk and object hierarchy. In the past I’ve had a number of ReflectionUtils that used string based expressions… >>> More
