Convert array to arraylist problem

[ESTAN]

hello guys I have the following code: Dim lineArray As String() = ProcessBuffer.ToString.Split(ControlChars.Cr) Dim lineArrayList As ArrayList = ArrayList.Adapter(lineArray) I use the Adapter method to convert my array to an arraylist, what is far more easy to work in my program. Now when i want to remove a index I get this exception. Unhandled Exception: System.NotSupportedException: Collection was of a fixed size. at System.Array.System.Collections.IList.RemoveAt(Int32 index) at System.Collections.IListWrapper.RemoveAt(Int32 index) Anyone an idea how to avoid this problem without using a manual copy of all the elements into the arraylist. Because it seems that the arraylist gets a fixed size. :-/

try using the ArrayList(ICollection) constructor, that one copies the items for you.

Thanks for the answer. I was checking ArrayList(ICollection) and I can't figure it out how it works, what i do, the same problem appears. Can you help me by putting me in the right direction? Thanks.

Hi, this is C# code that works; it prints 5 and 6

ArrayList list;
int\[\] arr=new int\[\]{1,2,3,4,5};
list=new ArrayList(arr);        // the crucial line
log("count="+list.Count);
list.Add(6);
log("count="+list.Count);

If I am not mistaken, the crucial line translates to VB.NET as:

list=New ArrayList(arr)

:)
