I am struggling... Please help me if you can. Thanks

I have the following....

In my Controller I have..

Public Function GetRacesByMonth(ByVal schDate As Date, ByVal ModuleId As Integer) As List(Of RacesInfo)
Return CBO.FillCollection(Of RacesInfo)(DataProvider.Instance().GetRacesByMonth(schDate, ModuleId))
End Function

In my ascx.vb code I have

Dim Arr As New System.Collections.ArrayList
Arr = x.GetRacesByMonth(e.Day.Date, ModuleId)

The error is: Value of type 'System.Collections.Generic.List(Of FWM.Modules.Races.RacesInfo)' cannot be converted to 'System.Collections.ArrayList'.

I really need it in an ArrayList how do I cast it or convert it?

I really did not realize that.... Thanks for your help and everything works great now.

 

I too just wanted to chime in on this one.  I would also recommend leaving this as a generic list.  The generic list provides type safe methods to access the individual items and prevents runtime errors due to accessing memebers that may or may not be there.  I think it makes easier to read code as well...

just my $0.02
