New to VB.NET - "Expected end of statement" error

I'm simply trying to create an array of integers:

Dim amenities() as Integer
amenities=New Integer(){1,2,3,4,5}

And I'm getting this error:

Expected end of statement

Dim amenities() as Integer

-----------------------^

It says the error is happening on "as", but I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. I feel stupid asking, but I'm stuck.

I tested your code using VS2010 and targeting Frameworks 2.0, 3.0, 3.5 and 4.0 and in all cases your code works:

Module Module1
    Sub Main()
        Dim amenities() As Integer
        amenities = New Integer() {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
    End Sub
End Module

In fact this syntax is also valid:

Dim amenities As Integer()
amenities = New Integer() {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}

But if you want to 1 line your code you need the first syntax:

Dim amenities() As Integer = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}

Amenities is the variable name. So your declaration should read:

Dim amenities as Integer()
