Differences Between ArrayList and HashTable in C#

If you see the implementation of Hashtable / ArrayList, both are Arrays.

Following are the main differences

Array List	Hash Table
ArrayList is a List	Hash Table is a Map
ArrayList is just a wrapper of the class Array. Its internal representation is same as Array, just we use it to get few extra methods provided with it.	HashTable is same as arraylist, but with a small addition. It is actually an array of a Structure.
In Array List we can ADD only items to the List	In Hash Table we can ADD Data with Key
In Array List we can ADD any DataType value, Every item in ArrayList is treated as Object.	Retrieving by key in Hash Table is faster than retrieving in ArrayList
In one word, ArrayList is Index based.	Hash Table is on both Index based and KeyBased.
Ex ArrayList arraylist = new ArrayList();  arraylist.Add("Myblog");  arraylist.Add(9);	Ex Hashtable ht = new Hashtable(); ht.Add("IndexOne","IndexValue"); ht.Add("IndexTwo",20); ht.Add("MyBlogName","ReddyInfoSoft");

So Ranking :
1. LinkedList (For Large List)
2. List<T>, Dictionary<T>
3. Array, ArrayList, HashTable

Difference between Array and Arraylist in C#

System.Array	System.Collections.ArrayList
Arrays are strongly typed.  That is all the elements have to be of the same type. For example an array of integers has to have all integers.  It cannot have a mix of integers and strings.	An arraylist is NOT strongly typed. You can have a  combination of built in types  (int,string etc) in your arraylist.
Cannot be dynamically resized. Note : Array.Resize() doesnot actually resize the existing array. It infact creates a new array with the required length and copies values from the old array to new array. Using the Resize is more memory intensive than AddRange() in arraylist	Can be dynamically resized using the method Arraylist.AddRange()
Eg int[] myIntArray = new int[3]; myIntArray[0]=10; myIntArray[1]=20; myIntArray[2] = "Thirty";//Compilation ERROR	Eg ArrayList arraylist = new ArrayList();  arraylist.Add("MyName");  arraylist.Add(9);
