You'd wanna look at the String.Concat[^] method.

string result = ""; foreach(object item in ArrayList) { result += item.ToString() + " "; } result = result.TrimEnd(new string[]{" "}); that should do it

If only MySelf.Visible was more than just a getter...

Try this,

ArrayList temp = new ArrayList();
temp.Add("A");
temp.Add("B");

string delim = " "; //space
string result = string.Join(delim, (string[])temp.ToArray(typeof(string)));

//result will be "A B"

You can better use the StringBuilder for these kind of operations, they are faster:

StringBuilder result = new StringBuilder();
foreach(object item in ArrayList)
{
result.AppendLine(item.ToString());
}
String result2 = result.ToString();

Now you have them seperated by a linebreak. You can also just use the append like this to separate by spaces:

StringBuilder result = new StringBuilder();
foreach(object item in ArrayList)
{
result.Append(item.ToString() + " ");
}
String result2 = result.ToString();
result2 = result2.Remove(result2.Length-1);

when result is a StringBuilder you should not use string concatenation at all! Instead do:

result.Append(item.ToString());
result.Append(" ");
