Can someone suggest a way to reallocate an array without losing data?

Hi, Jon
In C# I usually create new array and Copy / AddRange elements from old one.
If array is too big possible better would be to use ArrayList, which allows
to add/ remove elements dynamically.

You can't "reallocate" an array. All you can do is create a new array
and copy the data from one to the other using Array.Copy.

ArrayList does exactly the same thing under the covers, of course. It
just doesn't do it on every change - it has an array which is bigger
than needed (usually) and which gets filled until it can no longer hold
everything required, at which point the creation/copy takes place.
