This adds to a combo but how can it add to an array

[vbMarkO]

My code will add all the last names to a combobox but how can I change this so it will add to an array?

 

 

Sub DisplayRecords()
       Dim xmlTr As New XmlTextReader(xmlFile)
      
       While xmlTr.Read
           If xmlTr.Name = "Last_Name" AndAlso xmlTr.NodeType = XmlNodeType.Element Then
               cboMembers.Items.Add(xmlTr.ReadString) ' Adds to combobox but need it in an array


           End If
       End While
       xmlTr.Close()
       


       xmlDoc = New XmlDocument
       xmlDoc.Load(xmlFile)

       If File.Exists(xmlFile) Then
           dsChurchMem.ReadXml(xmlFile)
       End If
   End Sub

 

Any ideas, I know this shouldnt be hard but for the life of me, I cant remember.... I went blank... I have a few tries but I am missing something so I am in hopes you all will point the way

Sub DisplayRecords()
       Dim xmlTr As New XmlTextReader(xmlFile)
       Dim myArrayList as New ArrayList()
       While xmlTr.Read
           If xmlTr.Name = "Last_Name" AndAlso xmlTr.NodeType = XmlNodeType.Element Then
               myArrayList.Add(xmlTr.ReadString) 


           End If
       End While
       xmlTr.Close()

You can add to an arraylist as follows, if you required a typed array you could create it afterwards (when you know how many elements their are) and copy the items over from the arraylist.
