ArrayList Constructor

[This documentation is for preview only, and is subject to change in later releases. Blank topics are included as placeholders.]

Initializes a new instance of the ArrayList class that is empty and has the default initial capacity.

Namespace:  System.Collections
Assembly:  mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Sub New
public ArrayList()
public:
ArrayList()
new : unit -> ArrayList
public function ArrayList()

Remarks

The capacity of a ArrayList is the number of elements that the ArrayList can hold. As elements are added to a ArrayList, the capacity is automatically increased as required by reallocating the internal array.

If the size of the collection can be estimated, specifying the initial capacity eliminates the need to perform a number of resizing operations while adding elements to the ArrayList.

This constructor is an O(1) operation.
