ASP.NET: How To Convert An ArrayList To A String Array

Here’s a quick helper post for those looking to convert an ArrayList into a String array. I ran into this problem because I code in VB.NET and the C# code is different.

In VB:

'if you have an ArrayList named data
 Dim str() As String = data.ToArray(GetType(String))

In C#:

//if you have an ArrayList named “data”
string[] strings = (string[])data.ToArray(typeof(string));Hope this helps!
