How to convert an ArrayList to a strongly typed generic list without using a foreach?

Question

See the code sample below. I need the ArrayList to be a generic List. I don\'t want to use foreach.

ArrayList arrayList = GetArra         


        

Answer 1

This is inefficient (it makes an intermediate array unnecessarily) but is concise and will work on .NET 2.0:

List newList = new List(arrayList.ToArray(typeof(int)));
