How to create an array of a certain type

I am writing a programme that when run will list the current internet
explorer windows open, and allow the user to choose which one they
would like to work with. At the moment I have managed to get as far as
finding open windows, and detecting which ones are internet explorer
windows, but I do not know how to store the ones that are internet
explorer windows and reference them later.

My idea was that I could create an array of type ShellWindows and store
those windows that matched the following check: -

Int32 iLocation = ie.FullName.IndexOf("iexplore");
if (iLocation >= 0)

The check works ok, but i don't know how to store the windows that pass
this check into an array for future use.

Any assistance would be useful.

namespace InternetExplorerInterface
{
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{


foreach (InternetExplorer ie in new ShellWindows())
{

Int32 iLocation = ie.FullName.IndexOf("iexplore");
if (iLocation >= 0)

{
MessageBox.Show(ie.LocationName);
MessageBox.Show(ie.LocationURL);
}


}

}
}

using SHDocVw;

namespace InternetExplorerInterface
{
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}

private List<InternetExplorer> ieList = new List<InternetExplorer>();

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
foreach (InternetExplorer ie in new ShellWindows())
{
Int32 iLocation = ie.FullName.IndexOf("iexplore");
if (iLocation >= 0)
ieList.Add(ie);
}
}
}
}
