since ArrayList implements ICollection, is there a quick way to convert an
ICollection into ArrayList (besides actually iterating through each element
in the ICollection and explicitly adding them to a new ArrayList instance) ??

AddRange simply iterates the collection and copies the items.
MrNobody, I guess the question that I have is, when you refer to "quick",
are you talking about the fewest number of code lines, or the fewest number
of program cycles.
There is no way to automatically turn an ICollection into an ArrayList
without copying the items, unless the collection was originally an
ArrayList. But the simplest way might be to use AddRange like Cor mentioned
below.

Did you ever saw this page?

You can use the AddRange method of the ArrayList to add from an object that
implements an IList interface.

MrNobody,
In addition to the AddRange method, I would probably simply use the
ArrayList constructor that accepts an ICollection:
Dim collection As ICollection
Dim list As New ArrayList(colle ction)
For details on this constructor see: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...ctortopic2.asp
Hope this helps

Doh!
I should have given a C# sample :-|
ICollection collection;
ArrayList list = new ArrayList(colle ction);

Yeah I was kinda hoping for something that used least cpu cycles- like a type
cast , butt it's ok because I don't really have THAT many items in this
collection... Thanks everyone
Hi,
A shallow copy is the only way of doing it, as ArrayList has its own
internal way to keep the data. Also with a copy the original collection can
be modified afterwards and the arraylist will not be changed.

Hello all,
I have two simple classes: Item and ItemCollection. Item stores a label for
the item and an instance of ItemCollection for all child items.
ItemCollection just stores a collection of Items. ItemCollection implements
System.Collections.ICollection.
When I use XmlSerializer to serialize an instance of ItemCollection, I am
unable to control the element names used to contain the item collection and
the items therein. Applying...

I'm baffled by something. I want to turn an ArrayList (which stores
strings) into an array of strings. I know I can use the ToArray method
and pass in a type. But I can't get the code right. Any help here? Am I
supposed to pass in a Type?

I use the following code for a strongly typed arraylist and it works great.
However, I was wondering if this is the proper way to do it. I realize that
if I want to implement sorting of the arraylist then I have to handle this
with a sort method that uses comparer. I can reference the properties of the
Arraylist directly such as
dim mylist as new FrameList
mylist.Add(new FrameStructure)
mylist(0).first = "blabla..."

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
