>>Hi all,
>>
>>I was just pondering the use of List collection versus a string array when used as a simple collection of string items. For instance how would the reliability of problems be if I did this:

>>List<string> myList = new List<string>
>>myList.Add("One");
>>myList.Add("Two");
>>etc..
>>
>>if (myList.Count > 0)
>> int mycount = myList.Count;

>>
>>string[] myStrings = new string[];
>>myStrings[0] = "One";
>>myString[1] = "Two";
>>etc;
>>
>>if (myString.Length > 0)
>>  int mycount = myString.Length;
>>
>>
>>The reason for my question is I have some methods that expect a string array to be passed in. I would much rather create my arguments out of collections but I would have to convert them all some how or re-write the methods that use a string array.
>>
>>By the way, what is the best way to convert from a collection to an array - both of strings of course?
