CollectionMike
ArrayList is from the System.Collections.ArrayList class. You do not need to specify a size of the collection when you instantiate myArrayList. You use the Add method to add objects to the list. Notice that we successfully added different numbers and text. You need an Add method because you cannot use indicies ([0], [1] and so on) because none exist. Once you have added items you can use indicies and overwrite them the same way you would with arrays.
Foreach() was used to iterate through the collection. The reason that this is even possible is because of the IEnumerable interface.
myArrayList.Count would give us the number of items in the list. It was not however used in this example. With arrays you use the Length property.
Remove() and RemoveAt() methods are part of the IList interface implementation in the ArrayList class.
Removing the item with the index 0 results in all other itmes being shifted one place in the array.
ArrayList collections enable you to add several items at once with the AddRange() method. This method accepts any object with the ICollection interface, which would include regular arrays.
