Probably TclassExample is not a record, it's a class. You need to 
understand the difference between a record and a class.

The main thing to remember about Class types is that declaring one is 
not enough, you must also construct it.

var
  Foo: Array of TMyClass
begin
    SetLength(Foo,10);
   /// Foo[0] := TMyClass.Create;  // if we don't do this first...
    Foo[0].property1 := 10;   // ... then we get an Access violation!
end;
