Convert Array of Objects to Generics List?

[Spam Catcher]

For example, I have the following:

Dim MyObjectArray() as Object = External.Functi on()

Is it possible to convert MyObjectArray into a Generics Collection.List ?

Thanks.

Spam,
Have you tried:

| Dim MyObjectArray() as Object = External.Functi on()
Dim theList As New List(Of Object)(MyObjec tArray)

If you really want theList to be List(Of Whatever) then you need to start
with an array of Whatever or convert the MyObjectArray to an array of
Whatever first.
| Dim MyObjectArray() as Object = External.Functi on()
Dim MyWhateverArray () As Whatever
MyWhateverArray = Array.ConvertAl l(Of Object,
Whatever)(MyObj ectArray, AddressOf Converter)
Dim theList As New List(Of Whatever)(MyWha teverArray)

Private Function Converter(ByVal value As Object) As Whatever
Return CType(value, Whatever)
End Function

Alternatively you could use a For Each to read the MyObjectArray adding the
items to theList.
