Examples
The following code example creates an ArrayList and adds several items. The example demonstrates accessing elements with the Item[] property (the indexer in C#), and changing an element by assigning a new value to the Item[] property for a specified index. The example also shows that the Item[] property cannot be used to access or add elements outside the current size of the list.

using namespace System::Collections;

for each (int value in integerList)

Remarks
The Item[] returns an Object, so you may need to cast the returned value to the original type in order to manipulate it. It is important to note that ArrayList is not a strongly-typed collection. For a strongly-typed alternative, see List<T>.
ArrayList accepts null as a valid value and allows duplicate elements.
This property provides the ability to access a specific element in the collection by using the following syntax: myCollection[index].
The C# language uses the this keyword to define the indexers instead of implementing the Item[] property. Visual Basic implements Item[] as a default property, which provides the same indexing functionality.
Retrieving the value of this property is an O(1) operation; setting the property is also an O(1) operation.
