How to add different datatypes to arrays/arraylists...?

Hi,
I am a developper who needs to return a collection of different
datatypes. Have considered using an array containing arraylists. Is it
posible? or is there a better way? Would like to use some kind of 2
dim arraylist, like Vectors in JAVA...

I'm still brand new to .NET, but fabricated ADO Recordsets worked great for
this in VB. I presume ADO.NET Recordsets are at least as useful for this
job in C#.

An ArrayList in .NET is almost exactly like a Vector in Java. If you
could give some sample code in Java, I'd be happy to translate that to
C# for you.

I see that variations on this question have appeared before but I'm still completely stumped. I'm developing an application with a fairly robust graphics component for 3D rendering. I've written all the 3D rendering scripts, but what's really hanging me up is how to I pass information from an one-dimensional arraylist to a two-dimensional array. Here's what I'm trying to do: 1) My program generates an arraylist called "mpoints" of 2D...

Does anyone know how to clear arrays? My C# books talk about creating arrays or talk about using Clear or RemoveAt but these methods don't appear to be available for my array. I have an array of client objects called aClients if I try aClients.RemoveAt I get an error "System.Array" does not contain a definition for "RemoveAt".

Hi folks, what I need is a kind of 2D-Array which should, in the end, represent a typical html-table and which should be sortable by column. I thought of an implementation, where an vector does not keep the rows, as usual, but holds the single _columns_ as lists. In this case, every column could have it's own datatype, just like database-tables and could be sortable by the list's sort function.
