You need to do:
Entry[] _entries =
(Entry[])_tempentries.ToArray(System.Type.GetType("Entry"));
Which will cast it. ArrayList returns an Array of Objects, not your
type. If you inadvertently but in a different type you'll get an
exception thrown at runtime when you try to do this cast.

Subject: [DOTNET] ArrayList.ToArray() Problems
I'm having a problem w/ the following:
Entry[] _entries = _tempentries.ToArray(System.Type.GetType("Entry"));
Entry is a struct I've created and _tempentries is an ArrayList holding
a collection of Entry's. I then want to create an Entry array however
everytime I attemp the above snippet, I get a "Cannot implicityly
convert type System.Array to Entry[]" error. I'm probably missing
something really simple hear, can someone please tell me what it is?
Thanks,
James
