How to fix "add is not a member of system.array" error?

[corey farrar]

I'm having trouble understanding why i'm getting the error 'add is not a member of system.array'

I'm using an arraylist and when I hover over my declaration of memberarray As ArrayList() the tooltip states 'Dim memberarray as System.Collections.ArrayList()

but when I hover over the error it states the above error. What am I missing?

Private Sub fm_all_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        members = memberAdapter.GetData()
        Dim memberarray As ArrayList()
        lb_members.DataSource = memberarray
        For Each member In members
            memberarray.add(New memberlist(member.last_name & ", " & member.first_name, member.id))
 
            lb_members.DisplayMember = "name"
            lb_members.ValueMember = "id"
 
            AddHandler lb_members.SelectedValueChanged, AddressOf lb_members_SelectedValueChanged
        Next
    End Sub

found it. I didn't have 'New' before ArrayList() when declaring.
