Introduction

ToArray(Type)  method of ArrayList copies the elements of the ArrayList to a new array of the specified element type.For example If we want to copy the arraylist into the array then this method ToArray is used.

Example

public class MyArrayList

{

    public static void Main()

    {

        // Creates a new ArrayList.

        ArrayList myArray = new ArrayList();

        myArray.Add("one");

        myArray.Add("two");

        myArray.Add("three");

        myArray.Add("four");

        myArray.Add("five");

        myArray.Add("six");

        myArray.Add("seven");

        myArray.Add("eight");

        myArray.Add("nine");

        myArray.Add("ten");

        // Displays the values of the ArrayList.

        Console.WriteLine("The ArrayList contains the following values:");

        foreach (string s in myArray)

        {

            Console.WriteLine(s);

        }

        // Copies the elements of the ArrayList to a string array.

        String[] myArr = (String[])myArray.ToArray(typeof(string));

        // Displays the contents of the string array.

        Console.WriteLine("The string array contains the following values:");

        foreach (string s in myArr)

        {

            Console.WriteLine(s);

        }

    }

}
