Cannot implicitly convert type 'System.Collections.Generic.IList<Telerik.Web.UI.RadTreeNode>' to 'System.Collections.ArrayList'. An explicit conversion exists (are you missing a cast?)

Telerik.Web.UI.RadTreeView TopicsTree;

 

I need to store checked nodes for a RadTreeView into an arraylist. But when I do that like below:

ArrayList

 

checkedTopics = TopicsTree.CheckedNodes;

 

I get the error  'Cannot implicitly convert type 'System.Collections.Generic.IList<Telerik.Web.UI.RadTreeNode>' to 'System.Collections.ArrayList'. An explicit conversion exists (are you missing a cast?)'.

Please help

Hello Vijay,

There is an explicit conversion. You just need to get the IList Collection (inherits the ICollection) from the RadTreeNodeCollection and to add it to the arrayList (as "AddRange" preferably, becuse if you just use "Add", you need to iterate through the collection - this makes your code to look bad).

Here is a short example of how it should be done:

ArrayList arrayList = new ArrayList();
arrayList.AddRange(RadTreeView1.CheckedNodes.ToList());

Hope this will help you!

Nikolay,

I did follow your example :

arrayList.AddRange(RadTreeView1.CheckedNodes.ToList());

But in my code, I am not getting the method ToList for CheckedNodes so it is giving me Error -  'System.Collections.Generic.IList<Telerik.Web.UI.RadTreeNode>' does not contain a definition for 'ToList' and no extension method 'ToList' accepting a first argument of type 'System.Collections.Generic.IList<Telerik.Web.UI.RadTreeNode>' could be found.

Please help me!

Hi Vijay,

This method is being rolled out in the 3.5 version of .NET framework. If you don't have the method than you are probably building over .NET 2.0.
Please check that out.

For now you can simply do a foreach on the CheckedNodes collection and to add all the items (refs to them)
to the arrayList. This should work.

Hope this will help you!
