# Create ArrayList (ArrayList<T>) from array (T[])..

I have an [array](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/335/jagged-array-in-c-sharp-dot-net) that is initialized like:\

```
Element[] array = {new Element(1), new Element(2), new Element(3)};
```

I would like to [convert](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/2093/configurationmanager-appsettings-convert-n-to-n-why) this array into an object of the [ArrayList](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/11973/arraylist-class-in-c-sharp) class.\

```
ArrayList<Element> arraylist = ???;
```

```
new ArrayList<Element>(Arrays.asList(array))
```

You probably just need a List, not an ArrayList. In that case you can just do:\

```
List<Element> arraylist = Arrays.asList(array);
```
