multidimensional ArrayList?

[Daves]

is it possible? if so - how would you do it?

 

[Brendan Grant]

The existing ArrayList cannot be used as a
multidimensional array directly, however you could make it
act like one if you had it store ArrayLists... so your
code would look something like:

ArrayList myList = new ArrayList();
myList.Add( new ArrayList() );
myList.Add( new ArrayList() );

((ArrayList)myList[0])[1].Add(dataObj);

Quite an ugly solution I know. If the ugly typecasting and
hacking isn't your thing on the surface, your only other
choice would be to build your own class.

No, but you can store ArrayList objects inside an ArrayList (making it
somewhat like a jagged array).

Mattias,

Is than the answer not Yes.



I know that it looks terrible all that casting.
