ArrayList and System.Array ?

[ORC]

Hi,

How to create an ArrayList from a System.Array or inserting the System.Array
into the ArrayList ?

Thanks
Ole

Re: ArrayList and System.Array ?

Ole,

You can pass the array into the constructor of the ArrayList. It takes
an ICollection, which all arrays implement.

If you have a need to add an existing array to an array list, then you
can call the AddRange method, and pass the array through that.

Hope this helps.

Re: ArrayList and System.Array ?

Array implements IList and ICollection. Take a look at the constructors for
ArrayList.

Or you could use AddRange with a blank list.

As others have said, the constructor which takes an ICollection.

I haven't seen any answers addressing this - use AddRange(IColle ction).

Re: ArrayList and System.Array ?

Thank you all for your great help!

The AddRange perfectly fits my needs, but leads me to another question: is
it possible to add a part of a SystemArray to the ArrayList e.g. from index
0 to index n ?

Thanks
Ole

Re: ArrayList and System.Array ?

Ole,

No, it is not. The simplest way to do this would be to copy the
elements you want to add out to another array, then call AddRange, passing
that in.

Hope this helps.

Re: ArrayList and System.Array ?

OK thanks! What about using an ArrayList in a call to a native DLL instead
off using a System.Array - will that be possible and is .NET able to marshal
it automatically?

Thanks,
Ole
