Convert ArrayList to Array
In this article I will explain how to Convert ArrayList to Array.
Introduction
In this article I will discuss the conversion from arraylist to array by using ToArray method. An ArrayList has similarities to an array. It stores a one-dimensional collection of elements. It can be converted to an array with the ToArray method. ToArray is found on the ArrayList type.

namespace ConsoleApplication2
{
class Program

static void Main(string[] args)
{
//create the arraylist
ArrayList arraylist1 = new ArrayList();
arraylist1.Add("June");
arraylist1.Add("July");
arraylist1.Add("August");
arraylist1.Add("September");
arraylist1.Add("October");
Console.WriteLine("THE ELEMENTS OF THE ARRAYLIST ARE:");
Console.WriteLine();
foreach (string i in arraylist1)
{
Console.WriteLine(i);
}
//create an array
string[] array = arraylist1.ToArray(typeof(string)) as string[];
Console.WriteLine();
Console.WriteLine("Arraylist elements are copied to array");
Console.WriteLine("THE ELEMENTS OF THE ARRAY ARE:");
Console.WriteLine();
foreach (string value in array)
{
Console.WriteLine(value);
}
}
}
}
