Can you store multiple data types in System.Array?..

Answer / vishal

Ok, so here is the catch:

An array of objects can store different datatype members -
object[] ar = new object[3];
ar[0] = "test";
ar[1] = 56;

An arraylist can also be used for this purpose -
ArrayList arr = new ArrayList();
arr.Add(56);
arr.Add("ASDf");

And a generic list too can be used for this purpose -
List<object> llst1 = new List<object>();
llst1.Add(56);
llst1.Add("ASDf");
