I was using several ArrayLists to store objects of the same type.
Now I'd like to use a typed ArrayList instead of the standard ArrayList which only return "objects" and requires further typecasting.
In c++ I'd use the vector template how's it done in c#?
 
Currently you would have to inherit from something like CollectionBase and 'roll your own' collection class.
However in the next version of the framework a new feature called Generics will be present they behave similar to templates in C++.

e.g.
C#: 
//Will only work of Framework 2.0 or better not 1.0 or 1.1

    public class Test
    {
        int i, j, k;
       string Hello;
    }

    //generates a strongly type collection for Test objects
    public class TestList : System.Collections.Generic.List<Test>
    {

    }
 //this will allow you to write code elsewhere like
        TestList tl = new TestList();
        tl.Add(new Test());
