CIS 334 VB .NET Having some problems with an assignment

I am trying to get this program to work, but there are a few problems. I think the problems are either with the array or the Console.Writeline
I am passing a double into the Writeline method when it wants a string. But I pass a method on the array to convert it to a string.

Anyway, here is the code. If anyone can help me understand why it won't compile, I would appreciate it.

Just change the wri to vb if you want to add it to .NET

I got the thing working. It is amazing how powerful the step into function of the debugging tools is. I totally love that tool. Without it, a programmer can be lost. I know I am. A step into debugging tool is kind of like using a map to get around in a big city. Say, for example, New York City. I never been to New York City, but I imagined, if you didn't have a map, you would be driving all over the place. Pretty soon you would start to cuss over and over and over and over again. And then, you would say, please God, just let me get on a highway to get the hell out of this place.

But anyway, a step into tool is great. It is beyond great to me. It takes some time going through your program step by step, but you actually get to see what in the hell the program is actually doing. It lets you see if your program is behaving in the way that you intended it to do so.

By the way, I'm in Shannon McMurtrey's class. Not too bad as of right now. The only thing that worries me is that the programming projects are going to start coming really fast. Hopefully not too fast. He seems like a cool instructor. Maybe his "666" side hasn't been unleashed yet. Just kidding!
