ArrayList accepts a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) as a valid value and allows duplicate elements.

This property provides the ability to access a specific element in the collection by using the following syntax: myCollection[index].

The C# language uses the this keyword to define the indexers instead of implementing the Item property. Visual Basic implements Item as a default property, which provides the same indexing functionality.

Retrieving the value of this property is an O(1) operation; setting the property is also an O(1) operation.

The following code example creates an ArrayList and adds several items. The example demonstrates accessing elements with the Item property (the indexer in C#), and changing an element by assigning a new value to the Item property for a specified index. The example also shows that the Item property cannot be used to access or add elements outside the current size of the list.

No code example is currently available or this language may not be supported.
