Hi,
I have the following code :
Dim rNodeList As New ArrayList
Dim rNodeListNew As New ArrayList
For iCntr As Integer = 0 To tvRelations.Nod es.Count - 1
rNodeList.Add(t vRelations.Node s(iCntr).Text)
Next
rNodeListNew = rNodeList
rNodeList.Remov eAt(2)
after I've filled rNodeList, it contains 8 elements.
So does rNodeListNew
But when I remove the element 2 of rNodeList, it is also removed in
rNodeListNew. Why ? Do they both point to the same memory location ?
How can I prevent that in vb ?
Thx

Switch the line rNodeListNew = rNodeList to:
rNodeList.CopyT o(rNodeListNew)
This should COPY the objects into the new arraylist. This way the
arraylists do not point to the same objects. If you use the .Clone method
then both arraylists will still point to the same objects. HTH

Try the .Clone() method of the ArrayList.

thanks, that's clone indeed :)

I am a little confused. Do I have the functions of the Clone and CopyTo
methods mixed up? Thanks!

Both variables point to the same instance of 'ArrayList'. You can use the
arraylist's 'Clone' method to create a shallow copy of the arraylist:
\\\
Dim al1 As New ArrayList
al1.Add("Bla")
al1.Add("Goo")
Dim al2 As ArrayList = al1.Clone()
al1.Clear()
MsgBox(CStr(al2 .Count))

That is not true. 'Clone' will create a shallow copy of the arraylist:

Thanks! Then what is the difference between CopyTo and Clone? MSDN
mentioned that clone creates a shallow copy and copyto creates a deep copy?

I didn't find any occurance of "deep copy" in the 'ArrayList.Copy To'
documentation. 'CopyTo' IMO doesn't create a deep copy too. However, there
is a difference between 'ArrayList.Clon e' and 'ArrayList.Copy To': 'CopyTo'
can be used to copy data to an array. Overloaded versions of 'CopyTo' are
provided which allow you to specify what data should be copied.

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.

I can think of a couple ways to do this, but was wonder what the fastest way
you can think of.
Want to take any arraylist of > 1 element and make the first element the
last, and all the rest of the elements will move up one position. This will
be called a lot, so looking for speed. This just saving the index 0 as tmp
and then enum the list to move up the elements, then put the tmp object in
last pos is the best way? Cheers

Hi all,
In my VB.NET code below, I try to change the user name in my arraylist from
Ted to Bob, but instead it adds a new user to the arraylist named Bob. Can
anyone explain why this happens and how I might modify a structure in an
arraylist without having to completely remove it and re-add the structure to
the arraylist? I just want to iterate throught the arraylist and change
items based on certain conditions.
Thanks in advance!
