How to convert from ArrayList to array in .net?

Question

I have a class idnamepair which contains 2 members, int id and String^ name;
I have a ArrayList created with this class's objects.
How can I convert it to array?

converting an arraylist of string is very simple. I am having objects.
Anyways i got it myself:
array ^ arrRet = (array ^)arr->ToArray(arr[0]->GetType());

where arr is of type ArrayList.

Answer 1

(idnamepair[]) yourArrayList.ToArray( typeof(idnamepair) )

Answer 2

Here's how in C#.

ArrayList MyArrayList = new ArrayList();
MyArrayList.Add( new idnamepair() ); //added first instance of your class
MyArrayList.Add( new idnamepair() ); //added another instance of your class

idnamepair[] MyArray;
MyArray = MyArrayList.ToArray( typeof(idnamepair) );

hope this helps

ArrayList a = new ArrayList();

a.Add("one");
a.Add("two");
