How can i add 2 and more Strings to an Array list ?
I need it for a Bill List which means i need to add Values to 1 Array Position something like this.
myarray.AddRange(Article, Price, Value)
and then i need to split these again on other Point ... to get each Value to a single Variable again.
Like
For each myarray in Array
Var1 = myarray.Price
Var2 = myarray.Value
Next
what about using a Class ?
Dim aBill as Bill
MyArray.Add(Bill)
For each bill in MyArray
Var1 = bill.Price
Var2 = bill.Value
Next
Public Class Bill
Property Article() As String
Property Price() As String
Property Value() As String
End Class

Using an Array of Strings for the item that you are adding in the ArrayList, with the ArrayList.Add() method.
An example:
Dim arrlist As New ArrayList
arrlist.Add({"string1", "string2", "string3"})
For Each item As String() In arrlist
Console.WriteLine(String.Join(", ", item))
Next item
and then i need to split these again on other Point ... to get each Value to a single Variable again.
You could resolve both needs in several ways, in the example above you can just "cast" the items to a tuple or an Anonymous Type using LINQ, but a proper way would be changing the way that you are doing things then define a custom Type with two properties (Price, Value, maybe Article, etc) as @Thorarins mentioned, but as you are not friendly with that concept then to simplify things I suggest you to avoid ArrayLists usage for a generic List(T) where T in this case its a KeyValuePair(Of String, String) (you can use a tuple instead if need more than 2 strings).
An example:
Dim pricesList As New List(Of KeyValuePair(Of String, String))
pricesList.AddRange({New KeyValuePair(Of String, String)("$5", "1"),
New KeyValuePair(Of String, String)("$3", "2")})
For Each item As KeyValuePair(Of String, String) In pricesList
Console.WriteLine(String.Format("Price: {0}, Value {1}", item.Key, item.Value))
Next item
Note that maybe you will preffer to use a proper datatype than String for numeric values, such as Integer.
