What, a regular MSDN help or language manual is out of reach?

Normally an array has as many dimensions as you define. If you want more than 1 or 2, then just DIM more than 1 or 2 dimensions.

You can have more than two 'dimensions' to an array - see multi-dimensional arrays here[^].

Could you find a VB.NET link for OP? This is C# only. In most cases, language does not matter much, but in this case nearly all the problem is direct use of language syntax.

This should be fairly useful to the OP.

Arrays do not have "columns". :-)

You can have two kinds of rank-2 arrays in .NET — rectangular and jagged. The rectangular array has fixed dimension. It's more like a regular rank-1 array interpreted (indexed) as rank-2 array, using the knowledge of the dimensions. The jagged array is simply an array of arrays; so each "inner" array can have its individual length.

See this article to get how it looks and works in VB.NET code: http://visualbasic.about.com/od/quicktips/qt/initjaga.htm[^].
