How to declare multiple local variables as empty string of String^ in VC++

Question

I have many local variables for example : String a1,a2,a3,a4,a5,a6,a7,a8,a9,a10;

I need to declare them as empty string in String^ format.

If this string is in C#, It is possible to assign them as below :-

string Camnr, Klantnr, Ordernr, Bonnr, Volgnr;// and so on.
Camnr = Klantnr = Ordernr = Bonnr = Volgnr = string.Empty;

But how should I declare them with String^ ??? If a single variable is there then the syntax would be

String^ a1= gcnew String(" ");

and if multiple variables declaration would be then like this :-

String^ a2= gcnew String(" ");
String^ a3= gcnew String(" ");
String^ a4= gcnew String(" "); 

and so on.

This code will tend to look lengthy.Is there any better way to declare them?

Answer 1

It isn't fundamentally different from C#:

  String ^a1, ^a2, ^a3, ^a4;
  a1 = a2 = a3 = a4 = String::Empty;
  // or 
  a1 = a2 = a3 = a4 = " ";

Do keep in mind that String is a reference type, there is no point in using gcnew for every single object reference.
