ArrayList Array

m6s
55
Can someone and if hasn't been already told, when we use an array and when an arraylist instead of a plain list or array of lists?

Could we do this last thing also? Thinking in the C++ or VB6 way perhaps, I am trying to understand when I should use arraylist and why after all should I bother myself with arrays...

Bizzare question, I know
Thanx anyway for any help....

If you know the size you want, use an array.
If you don't, use an arraylist.

It's like the ReDim in old VB6 where you could reallocate memory for your elements...
Ok.
Thanks :-)
