split a string into an arraylist?

[Mad Scientist Jr]

If I try splitting a string into an arraylist

Dim arrList As New ArrayList
arrList = Split("a,b,c", ",")

I get this error: Value of type '1-dimensional array of String' cannot
be converted to 'System.Collect ions.ArrayList' .

How can I split a string into an arraylist?

Thanks

Aren't Constructors Wonderful things?

Creating a new ArrayList /based on/ a String array:

Dim arrList As New ArrayList( "a,b,c".Spl it( ","c ) )

or, to split by a multiple-character delimiter:

Imports VB=Microsoft.Vi sualBasic

Dim arrList As New ArrayList( VB.Split( "a<>b<>c", "<>" ) )
