Examples

The following code example shows how to insert elements into the ArrayList.

using namespace System;
using namespace System::Collections;
void PrintValues( IEnumerable^ myList );
int main()
{
   
   // Creates and initializes a new ArrayList using Insert instead of Add.
   ArrayList^ myAL = gcnew ArrayList;
   myAL->Insert( 0, "The" );
   myAL->Insert( 1, "fox" );
   myAL->Insert( 2, "jumps" );
   myAL->Insert( 3, "over" );
   myAL->Insert( 4, "the" );
   myAL->Insert( 5, "dog" );
   
   // Creates and initializes a new Queue.
   Queue^ myQueue = gcnew Queue;
   myQueue->Enqueue( "quick" );
   myQueue->Enqueue( "brown" );
   
   // Displays the ArrayList and the Queue.
   Console::WriteLine( "The ArrayList initially contains the following:" );
   PrintValues( myAL );
   Console::WriteLine( "The Queue initially contains the following:" );
   PrintValues( myQueue );
   
   // Copies the Queue elements to the ArrayList at index 1.
   myAL->InsertRange( 1, myQueue );
   
   // Displays the ArrayList.
   Console::WriteLine( "After adding the Queue, the ArrayList now contains:" );
   PrintValues( myAL );
   
   // Search for "dog" and add "lazy" before it.
   myAL->Insert( myAL->IndexOf( "dog" ), "lazy" );
   
   // Displays the ArrayList.
   Console::WriteLine( "After adding \"lazy\", the ArrayList now contains:" );
   PrintValues( myAL );
   
   // Add "!!!" at the end.
   myAL->Insert( myAL->Count, "!!!" );
   
   // Displays the ArrayList.
   Console::WriteLine( "After adding \"!!!\", the ArrayList now contains:" );
   PrintValues( myAL );
   
   // Inserting an element beyond Count throws an exception.
   try
   {
      myAL->Insert( myAL->Count + 1, "anystring" );
   }
   catch ( Exception^ myException ) 
   {
      Console::WriteLine( "Exception: {0}", myException );
   }

}

void PrintValues( IEnumerable^ myList )
{
   IEnumerator^ myEnum = myList->GetEnumerator();
   while ( myEnum->MoveNext() )
   {
      Object^ obj = safe_cast<Object^>(myEnum->Current);
      Console::Write( "   {0}", obj );
   }

   Console::WriteLine();

Remarks

ArrayList accepts null as a valid value and allows duplicate elements.

If Count already equals Capacity, the capacity of the ArrayList is increased by automatically reallocating the internal array, and the existing elements are copied to the new array before the new element is added.

If index is equal to Count, value is added to the end of ArrayList.

In collections of contiguous elements, such as lists, the elements that follow the insertion point move down to accommodate the new element. If the collection is indexed, the indexes of the elements that are moved are also updated. This behavior does not apply to collections where elements are conceptually grouped into buckets, such as a hash table.

This method is an O(n) operation, where n is Count.
