Converting ArrayList to String Array

[Walter Zydhek]

Is it possible to convert an ArrayList to a string array?

I have a routine that takes a string array as a parameter,
converts it to an ArrayList for manipulation purposes,
and now I need to convert it back to a string array.

example of code I am using:

Sub MakeChanges(byv al strChange() as string) as string()
Dim aryValue As ArrayList = New ArrayList(strCh ange)
aryValue.add "newvalue"

' here I want to convert the aryValue back to a string()
End Sub

Yes - look at ArrayList.ToArr ay (Type). You'll need to cast the
reference returned to a string array.
