Array question

[Krish]

The array in the debugger shows that it has

[0]----value "xxxx" type string


I want to get to the string.


When I do

Array.GetValue(i).ToString(); I get the value

However when I do

String str;

str = Array.GetValue(i)

It tells me type object cannot be converted to string

but why convert the value is of type string anyway.

what is going on - any help appreciated.

Becuse the Array doesn't know it's a string, it just knows that it's an
object.

str = (string) Array.GetValue(i)

String str;

str = Array.GetValue(i)

Did you try:

str = (String)Array.GetValue(i);
