How to convert Array to ArrayList in VB.Net

Question

I have an array of String and I have to convert it to an ArrayList. Is it possible to do it in VB.Net?

This is a VB.Net question, not a VB6 question. There's no way you could do this in VB6 Dim AList as ArrayList = New ArrayList(StrArry) VB6 only supports parameterless constructors. I am editing your question, tags, etc — MarkJ

Try this

Dim sArray() as String 'array of strings
...
Dim aList as ArrayList = New ArrayList(sArray)

Thanks but it does not work since ArrayObject has to implement IList and the way array implements IList is a bit awkward

thanks but that one is Java...and VB6 does not have ToList() method for arrays

can't we do like this Dim AList as ArrayList = New ArrayList(StrArry); // StrArry will be our array of strings?

yes it works, update your answer and you get the points ;-) Thanks!
