How I can get a ArrayList out of a intern txt file in App_Data?

Question

I want to get a ArrayList out of my intern txt file in App_Data Folder.

I have in my ASP.NET Application a App_Data Folder wit a file how this content:

P1
AS5050
GMS4010
GMS4020
GMS4030
GMS4030A
gateway
view_only
AS5050

and I want to get this list in a ArraList.

If this data P1 AS5050 seperated with \r\n delimeter character then File.ReadAllLines will give you ArrayList of String — Deepak Bhatia, Sep 27 '13 at 12:29
Don't use `ArrayList` anymore. It belongs on old days when C# doesn't have _generics_. Use `List` instead. — Soner Gönül, Sep 27 '13 at 12:31

var result = new ArrayList(File.ReadAllLines(pathToYourfile));

But... why an ArrayList ? Generic List would be better in 2013 !

Try this

ArrayList al = new ArrayList(File.ReadAllLines(path));

but I'll strongly recommend List<T> over ArrayList unless you're using .net 1.0 or 1.1

List<string> list = new List<string>(File.ReadAllLines(path));
