Replacing Data in an ArrayList

[StumpedSteve]

I am working in VB.net and have a problem that I can’t seem to find any
information on. I have an arraylist that I’ve filled with positional data
from a {numerical control machine} program. I now need to rescan through the
array list and add values to two of the fields of my structure. I’ve setup a
for-each loop:

For Each strArray As Geometry In _Geometry

I can find the data and I can change the structure fields of strArray. I
use a messagebox to see that the data changed and it has. I’ve tried to use
_Geometry.remove(index) and then reinsert the line with _Geometry.insert.
I’ve tried to use “.Item� that is to be used to retrieve and set data but so
far nothing has worked. I thought that I could make another arraylist and
just transfer the data with the changes to it, but this may cause memory
problems if the data files are long. I don’t see a “replace� property. Each
time I get a:

An unhandled exception of type 'System.InvalidOperationException' occurred
in mscorlib.dll

Additional information: Collection was modified; enumeration operation may
not execute.

Thanks in advance for any help.

You can't modify a collection that you're iterating over with for-each.
Use a 'For' loop instead.

For Each is read only.

That Worked! It's that darn first grade stuff that bites me all the time.

Thank you both for your help.
