converting an arraylist to an array of objects inside of it

[sde]

I am writting a method which returns an array of phone numbers. the phone numbers are their own object.

 

for reasons beyond my control, i need to build the array of phone numbers in an array list.

 

i now have an ArrayList of Phone objects.

 

is it possible to convert the ArrayList to a Phone array without running a foreach loop?

public Phone[] GetPhoneNumbers(string CustomerID)
{

 ...
 ArrayList PhoneArrayList = new ArrayList();

 while(reader.Read)
 {
   Phone phoneItem = new Phone();
   phoneItem.AreaCode = reader[0].ToString();
   phoneItem.Prefix = reader[1].ToString();
   phoneItem.Suffix = reader[2].ToString();
   phoneItem.Ext = reader[3].ToString();

   PhoneArrayList.Add(phoneItem);
 }

 Phone[] PhoneNumbers = new Phone[] { };

 // here is where i need to convert the ArrayList
 // to  Phone[] array
 
 return PhoneNumbers;
}

any insight would be greatly appreciated.

 

thanks

Have a look at PhoneArrayList.CopyTo() and it's overloads - one of them may work.
