returning array form vb.net function

Hi I need to return an array of Decimals from a vb.net function.
The function simply takes in a string and then based on that string returns an array containing three decimals.

The signature should look something like this:
Public Shared Function foo(ByVal myString As String) As Decimal()
dim returnArray(3) As Decimal
if mystring ="hello" then
returnArray(0) = 9.2
returnArray(1) = 4.5
returnArray(2) = 2.8
elseif mystring = "world" then
returnArray(0) = 9.1
returnArray(1) = 4.2
returnArray(2) = 8.8
elseif mystring = "foo" then
....

return returnArray
End Function

I want to use this function in the code behind of another page so that I can do something like

dim decimalArray(3) As Decimal
decimalArray() = foo("world")

somelabel.Text = decimalArray(0)

At the moment Im gettinig an error telling me 'Object reference not set to an instance of an object.' that sets the value
of the label.

any ideas??

I just took the parenthesis off of the array assignment:

decimalArray = foo("world")

And the code ran fine here. Set a breakpoint on the label.Text assignment and make sure your label control exists.

HTH,
