Storing string collection using Configuration Block

[gcrasher]

What is the easiest way to store a collection of strings using the MS
Configuration Block? I am using XML serializer. I tried having an ArrayList
as a property in the class I was serializing, but when it is read back it is
no longer an arraylist of string values. Any ideas?

Each element of ArrayList is type of object. You can just do like...

foreach(string s in MyArrayList)
{
// do whatever you want here
}

Would that not work for you?

I am using Micosofts Configuration block, which serializes objects to xml and
reads them back. When I serialize something that contains an array list and
then read it back like:

MyClass = (MyClass)ConfigurationManager.Read("section");

then MyClass.ArrayList no longer contains the string objects.
