arraylist to datatable

gane kol

Hi,

I have a code that creates a datatable from an arraylist, but i am getting
an error in casting in

for (int intRow = 0; intRow < alLCPlist.Count; intRow++)
{
DataRow drow = dtLCPack.NewRow();
int intColCount = dtLCPack.Columns.Count;
ArrayList arrlRow = (ArrayList)alLCPlist[intRow]; <== Specified cast
is not valid here
for (int intCol=0; intCol < intColCount; intCol++)
{
drow[intCol] = arrlRow[intCol];
}
dtLCPack.Rows.Add(drow);
}
Can someone help me how to fix it?

Thanks
Gane

Well, the code before the for loop is
--------
ArrayList alLCPlist = new ArrayList();

DataRow dr;

for (int i=0;i<infoNode.ChildNodes.Count;i++)

{

currentNode = infoNode.ChildNodes;

alLCPlist = product.GetLCPack(strvalue,
currentNode.Attributes["Name"].Value.ToString());

if (alLCPlist.Count > 0)

{

------

alLCPlist gets the data returned from the dataaccess layer.
product.GetLCPack returns an arraylist.

alLCPList itself is an arraylist, because, as you say, GetLCPack returns an
arraylist...but what does the items within the array list contain?

ArrayList arr = new ArrayList()
arr.Add("1");
arr.Add("2");
arr.Add("3");
string value = (string)arr[1];


ArrayList arr = new ArrayList()
arr.Add(1);
arr.Add(2);
arr.Add(3);
int value = (int)arr[0];

ArrayList arr = new ArrayList()
arr.Add(new DataSet());
arr.Add(new DataSet());
arr.Add(new DataSet());
DataSet value = (DataSet)arr[2];


if you are casting an item of the arraylist to arraylist, than this item
must be an arraylist, ala:

ArrayList arr = new ArrayList()
arr.Add(new ArraList());
arr.Add(new ArraList());
arr.Add(new ArraList());
ArraListvalue = (ArraList)arr[1];


If you are getting an invalid cast, then the items within your alLCPlist
ArrayList aren't embedded ArrayLists..

Actually i am converting a datareader to arraylist.

----------
arrOracleParams[0] = objDB.BuildOracleParameter("Product",
System.Data.OracleClient.OracleType.VarChar,
ParameterDirection.Input,Product,50);
arrOracleParams[1] = objDB.BuildOracleParameter("Type",
System.Data.OracleClient.OracleType.VarChar,
ParameterDirection.Input,Type,20);
arrOracleParams[2] = objDB.BuildOracleParameter("pCursor",
System.Data.OracleClient.OracleType.Cursor,
ParameterDirection.Output,null,0);
OracleDataReader objOraReader =
objDB.RunExecuteOracleDataReader("pkg_Prod.sp_get_CP", arrOracleParams);

while (objOraReader.Read())
{

object[] values = new object[objOraReader.FieldCount];

objOraReader.GetValues(values);

alList.Add(values);

}

return alList;

Looks like you are converting it to an array of objects...which is very
different than an array list.

try

object[] arrlRow = (object[])alLCPlist[intRow];

in the initial code you sent ...
