dynamic arrays..//coming from Delphi

[genc ymeri]

Hi,
What can I use in C# for dynamic arrays ???? I have some records (struts in
..Net) and want to store them in a dynamic "arrays" or object list.

I noticed the in C# arrays' length can't be extented in run time. So, what
should I use ?

Thank You in advance.

PS:
In Delphi/Pascal I would do something like :

type
aEmployee = record
Name : string;
LastName : String;
DOB :TDatetime;
end;

var
OurListOfEmployees : array of aEmployee;

You can use an ArrayList. Or you can write your own array extending
(allocate new array, copy old items over).

struct aEmployee

public string Name;
public string LastName;

ArrayList ourListOfEmployees = new ArrayList();

aEmployee emp;

emp = new aEmployee();
emp.Name = "Dejan";
ourListOfEmployees.Add(emp);

emp = new aEmployee();
emp.Name = "Genc";
ourListOfEmployees.Add(emp);

....
etc

struct aEmployee
{
public string Name;
public string LastName;
public DateTime DOB;
}

I'd advise using a class here, otherwise when you unbox from the ArrayList,
you'll have to reinsert the object or your updates won't be maintained.
