Gets or sets the element at the specified index.

public:
 virtual property System::Object ^ default[int] { System::Object ^ get(int index); void set(int index, System::Object ^ value); };

member this.Item(int) : obj with get, set

Default Public Overridable Property Item(index As Integer) As Object

Parameters

index: Int32

The zero-based index of the element to get or set.

Property Value

Object

The element at the specified index.

Implements

Item[Int32]

Exceptions

ArgumentOutOfRangeException

index is less than zero.

-or-

index is equal to or greater than Count.

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;
using namespace System::Collections;

    {

        stringList->Add("a");
        stringList->Add("abc");
        stringList->Add("abcdef");
        stringList->Add("abcdefg");

        // The Item property is an indexer, so the property name is
        // not required.
        Console::WriteLine("Element {0} is \"{1}\"", 2, stringList[2]);

        // Assigning a value to the property changes the value of
        // the indexed element.
        stringList[2] = "abcd";
        Console::WriteLine("Element {0} is \"{1}\"", 2, stringList[2]);

        // Accessing an element outside the current element count
        // causes an exception.
        Console::WriteLine("Number of elements in the list: {0}", 
            stringList->Count);

The following example uses the Item[] property explicitly to assign values to items in the list. The example defines a class that inherits an ArrayList and adds a method to scramble the list items.

        for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
        {
            integerList->Add(i);
        }

        Console::WriteLine("Ordered:\n");
        for each (int value in integerList)

            Console::Write("{0}, ", value);
        }
        Console::WriteLine("<end>\n\nScrambled:\n");

        // Scramble the order of the items in the list.
        integerList->Scramble();

        for each (int value in integerList)
        {
            Console::Write("{0}, ", value);

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.
