Investigation: ReDim documentation source is correct, no changes needed

[Copilot]

Issue #51212 claims PR #51020 didn't fix the ReDim documentation. Investigation confirms the source code is already correct in main branch.

Current State

Snippet52 (ReDim example) correctly contains:

Dim intArray(10, 10, 10) As Integer
ReDim Preserve intArray(10, 10, 20)
ReDim Preserve intArray(10, 10, 15)
ReDim intArray(10, 10, 10)

Snippet59 (renamed from duplicate Snippet52) correctly contains:

Class SampleCollection
    Private items As New List(Of String)
    ' Property indexer implementation
End Class

Analysis

• redim-statement.md references Snippet52 ✓
• property-statement.md references Snippet59 ✓
• No duplicate snippet IDs exist ✓
• PR Fix duplicate snippet ID causing wrong ReDim example #51020 changes successfully merged Jan 12 ✓

Conclusion

Source code is correct. Issue likely caused by stale cache on learn.microsoft.com. The published documentation needs to be rebuilt to reflect changes from PR #51020.

Recommendation: Close issue as invalid or escalate to documentation build team for cache refresh.

Warning

Firewall rules blocked me from connecting to one or more addresses (expand for details)

I tried to connect to the following addresses, but was blocked by firewall rules:

• learn.microsoft.com
  • Triggering command: /home/REDACTED/work/_temp/ghcca-node/node/bin/node /home/REDACTED/work/_temp/ghcca-node/node/bin/node --enable-source-maps /home/REDACTED/work/_temp/copilot-developer-action-main/dist/index.js (dns block)

If you need me to access, download, or install something from one of these locations, you can either:

• Configure Actions setup steps to set up my environment, which run before the firewall is enabled
• Add the appropriate URLs or hosts to the custom allowlist in this repository's Copilot coding agent settings (admins only)
