Parameters

value: Object

The Object to be added to the end of the ArrayList. The value can be null.

Examples

The following code example shows how to add elements to the ArrayList.

using namespace System;
using namespace System::Collections;
void PrintValues( IEnumerable^ myList, char mySeparator );
int main()
{
   
   // Creates and initializes a new ArrayList.
   ArrayList^ myAL = gcnew ArrayList;
   myAL->Add( "The" );
   myAL->Add( "quick" );
   myAL->Add( "brown" );
   myAL->Add( "fox" );
   
   // Creates and initializes a new Queue.
   Queue^ myQueue = gcnew Queue;
   myQueue->Enqueue( "jumps" );
   myQueue->Enqueue( "over" );
   myQueue->Enqueue( "the" );
   myQueue->Enqueue( "lazy" );
   myQueue->Enqueue( "dog" );
   
   // Displays the ArrayList and the Queue.
   Console::WriteLine( "The ArrayList initially contains the following:" );
   PrintValues( myAL, '\t' );
   Console::WriteLine( "The Queue initially contains the following:" );
   PrintValues( myQueue, '\t' );
   
   // Copies the Queue elements to the end of the ArrayList.
   myAL->AddRange( myQueue );
   
   // Displays the ArrayList.
   Console::WriteLine( "The ArrayList now contains the following:" );
   PrintValues( myAL, '\t' );
}

void PrintValues( IEnumerable^ myList, char mySeparator )
{
   IEnumerator^ myEnum = myList->GetEnumerator();
   while ( myEnum->MoveNext() )
   {
      Object^ obj = safe_cast<Object^>(myEnum->Current);
      Console::Write( "{0}{1}", mySeparator, 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 Count is less than Capacity, this method is an O(1) operation. If the capacity needs to be increased to accommodate the new element, this method becomes an O(n) operation, where n is Count.
