C#: Basic ArrayList question: Unable to declare an ArrayList?

It sounds like you are using the ArrayList within a namespace itself called ArrayList The symbol is resolving to the namespace definition, which is invalid in the symbol's context, causing the error you describe.

2 sigh... I just proved my absolute "newbness". In visual studio, since I was trying to test a basic ArrayList, I called the project "ArrayList", which resulted in using a namespace with the same name. Thanks for pointing this out @mdm.

One of the namespaces in your project is ArrayList. This is causing the conflict. Try changing the namespace, or fully qualifying it like this: System.Collections.

ArrayList salesTotals = new System.Collections. ArrayList ().

Thanks for providing the full qualification code @agent-j – Ray Jul 1 at 20:08.

That would do it. The compiler is finding a namespace called ArrayList. Try fully qualifying it ie new System.ArrayList().

It would be System.Collections.ArrayList(). – mdm Jul 1 at 20:04.

Cause you have a namespace defined with the name ArrayList. Change the namespace name to something different.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
