Hello,
I've created an arraylist which consist arraylist ..like
ArrayList myAL = new ArrayList(); // Main Array List
ArrayList tmpAL = new ArrayList(); //Temp Array List
tmpAL.Add(2); //Add int to Temp AL
tmpAL.Add(3); //Add int to Temp AL
myAL.Add(tmpAL) ; //Add Temp AL to Main AL
//(and so on)
..
int[] data = (int[])myAL[0].ToArray(typeof (int); // something like this
...i have to access the element in Main arraylist whicj are itself an
arraylist and then convert them into int[].
now i have to convert myAL to int[] .. problem is in converting object
to Array, any hints? 6 1832
Iapain, now i have to convert myAL to int[] .. problem is in converting object to Array, any hints?
you have to cast the object you get from the main arraylist, which is an
arraylist, as an arraylist which can be converted to an array
it sounds hard but is is as simple as this:
(int[])((ArrayList)ma inAL[i]).ToArray(typeo f(int);
(ArrayList)main AL[i] means: get the i-th element from main array and
cast it to an ArrayList, the result is the i-th arraylist in your mainAL.
hope this will be clare enough
ArrayList temp = (ArrayList)myAL[0];
int[] data = new int[temp.Count]
temp.CopyTo(dat a);
Ths last statement throws an InvalidCastExce ption in case the elements in
the source ArrayList cannot be cast to the type of the destination array.

Apart from all the other stuff that people have responded you should never
right ugly stuff like this.
The way to go is to write your own matrix class.
The underlying implementation can use ArrayList but by using your own class
you will acheive 3 benefits:
1) It's easier for other to use and understand.
2) It can be typesafe
3) It helps you to think more clearly about the types involved than trying
to stuff it all into a single complicated expression with a lot of casting.
[For example the casting to ArrayList would have been obvious]
Both Rudderius and Kai suggested an excellent way to use Arraylist of
Arraylist, Nick i your suggestion is excellent too ..Thanks it
certainly helped me a lot. I've one more question may be its stupid but
its happening with me .. If i clear tempAL like below
ArrayList myAL = new ArrayList(); // Main Array List
ArrayList tmpAL = new ArrayList(); //Temp Array List
tmpAL.Add(2); //Add int to Temp AL
tmpAL.Add(3); //Add int to Temp AL
myAL.Add(tmpAL) ; //Add Temp AL to Main AL
tmpAL.Clear() // clear temp AL
now i am clearing the tmpAL after adding it to MainAL ..would the
content of MainAL have tmpAL? I've tried and their is no content in
MainAL ?? any solution?

You need to be aware of reference type semantics. ArrayLists store
references to objects, so whatever you do to tmpAL (while it's still
referring to the same object) is visible via myAL[0], because they're
both references to the same object. To put this in a slightly simpler
context (with only one ArrayList involved) if you do:
ArrayList list1 = new ArrayList();
ArrayList list2 = list1;
list2.Add("Hell o");
Console.WriteLi ne (list1.Count);
the output will be 1, because the values of list1 and list2 are
references to the same object.

I am trying to create an arrayList that contains multiple arrayLists.
My code attempt is below. The question I have is how can I get away
from creating another pAttribute list than can be added to pItem.
As I understand it (and I coded it to test) if I try to use pAttribute again
by clearing with pAttribute.Clear because it is a shallow copy the
pItem is also cleared. I guess I need a "deep copy" but can't find
any documentation on it.

Hi All
I'm planing to write an application which allows users dynamically add
their points (say you can add upto 30,000) and then draw xy graph. Should I
use an array for my coordinate point storage and dynamically resize it when
there is a new point or should I use ArrayList? Is speed noticable between
the two?

I am using VB.NET 2003 and a socket control to receive and sending data to

As I receive data in 1 thread, I put it into an arraylist, and then I remove

Before adding data to the arraylist, I check if the depth of the arraylist

Is it possible that while I am clearing the arraylist, the ThreadMain at the
