Question

This is a very basic or rather simple question.
In my code, I’m using foreach value to put values in a string variable. For each iteration I want to store(add one after another) that variable value in an arraylist. Then retrieve arraylist values by its index.

Code I’m trying:

foreach(string abc in namestring)
{
   string values = abc;
   ArrayList list = new ArrayList();
   list.Add(values);
}

For Example:

If ‘namestring’ contains values as tom, dik, harry. Then ‘list’ should
contain those values as list(0) = tom, list(1) = dik, list(2) =
harry.

Problem is with storing values in arraylist

Answer 1

You have to declare your ArrayList outside the loop:

ArrayList list = new ArrayList();
foreach(string abc in namestring)
{
   list.Add(abc);
}

Also if you are on .NET 2.0 and above you should use the strongly typed List<string> instead:

List<string> list = new List<string>();
