.NET Arrays datatypes

Question

Hi folks, is it possible to store multiple datatypes in an array, if not, what could the reason be?

TIA

Answer 1

You can store anything you like in an array of objects, but doing so makes me wonder about your design.

Answer 2

Yes.

You can make an object[] and put anything you want inside of it.

However, you probably shouldn't.
What are you trying to do?

Answer 3

If you declare your array as an array of object then, yes you can store anything in it. You'll have to cast to the desired type when you use it though. I think you really need to understand the concept of type-safety to get your head around why this is a bad idea in most languages.
