hi,

vb.Net 2005.

I need to be able to convert an array to an array list. is this possible? If possible, an example would be great.

thanks

Dim iArray() As Integer = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9}
Dim ArrList As ArrayList
ArrList.AddRange(iArray)

ArrayList is a class, so you'll need to initialise it

ArrList = New ArrayList()

In fact, come to think of it, there's an ICollection constructor for ArrayList objects, and Arrays offer ICollection, so hows about this:

Dim iArray() As Integer = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9}
Dim ArrList as ArrayList = New ArrayList(iArray)

Why do you need an ArrayList? You are using VB 2005, so:

	Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

		Dim IntegerArray() As Integer = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9}
		Dim IntegerArrayList As List(Of Integer) = IntegerArray.ToList

		'to test:
		For a As Integer = 0 To IntegerArrayList.Count - 1
			MessageBox.Show(IntegerArrayList(a).ToString)
		Next

	End Sub

Hope this helps.

Ignore my previous post. [tt].ToList[/tt] was not introduced until Framework version 3.5.
