Hi,

There are many other things which serve you same purpose but with some different and more functionalities like List,ArrayList etc

List<string> lst = new List<string>();
lst.Add('xyz');
lst.Add('abc');

There are arraylist as well...it all depends on your purpose, and if you are using LINQ than your dynamic content inside list can be directly converted to array as you want like following

var arrayLst = (from item in lst select item).ToAray();

hope this will help you
