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);
