Add objects in arraylist

[Arjen]

Hi,

public class test {
public ArrayList myList = new ArrayList();
}

test myTest = new test();
myTest.myList.Add(<someobject>);

This results in an error.

I also tried to add objects inside a new arraylist.
And then set the new arraylist to the object arraylist.
test.myList = newarraylist;

This also results in an error.

How to add objects to this arraylist?

Thanks!

Arjen,

You aren't being too specific about what the error is, or how you are
getting it.

Can you show some code? An arraylist should take anything that derives
from Object (meaning, anything) in the Add method.

here is a "Short but Complete" (a-la Jon Skeet) example that works fine for
me:

using System;
using System.Collections;
using System.Data;
namespace ArrayListTest
{
class TestMe
{
[STAThread]
static void Main(string[] args)
{
test myTest = new test();
DataSet ds = new DataSet();
ds.DataSetName="TestDs";
myTest.myList.Add(ds);
DataSet ds2 = (DataSet)myTest.myList[0];
Console.WriteLine(ds2.DataSetName );
Console.ReadLine();
}
}
public class test
{
public ArrayList myList = new ArrayList();
}
}

Whoops, when bug hunting I was looking at the wrong place.
the code was correct (what I was thinking)... I found the right place I
fixed the problem.

Thanks for your response!
