How to create Dynamic Multidimensional Arrays without initilization?

Zones: C# Programming Language, Programming for ASP.NET, Microsoft Visual C#.Net

Tags: c# , asp.net 2.0

HI experts!
I need to create a multidimentional array that won't contain initialization. I've been readiing and the best way to do this is using ArrayList. How can I implement this in my code? I am using c#.
In my code:
I want to save the values that get from the loop "if (ctrl is textbox)" in a multidimentional array. Why multimdentional? Well the "ThisRepeater.Items.Count" sometime will be 1, 2, 3....so on and this depend of the user. IN other word the Multidmientional will be 2 . The first one "ThisRepeater.Items.Count" and the second one is how many times the code get inside this loop : "if (ctrl is textbox)" .
The value that I can get and intializated in the Multidimentional array is "ThisRepeater.Items.Count" NO problem with this one but the other one (times in the loop if"(ctrl is textbox)) defintely need to be dynamic.

I create one Multidimetional array that works. But for that I needed to use static values. . I am sending the code so you can have an idea what I need. And what I need is to change that code to accept dynamic initialization in the multidimentional array.

Thanks for your help, I hope that I was clear.

             I need to change this code to have a dynamic mutlidimentional array:
the two sizes will be the "ThisRepeater.Items.Count" and the amount of access to this loop "if  (ctrl is  textbox)". 
 
 private void AddRepeaterRow(Repeater ThisRepeater, int Count)
        {
            int repeaterCount = 0;            
            foreach (RepeaterItem itm in ThisRepeater.Items) 
            {
                string value = null;
 
                if (itm.Visible && itm is RepeaterItem)
                {
                    //loop through repeater item controls
                    foreach (Control ctrl in itm.Controls)
                    {
                        //get values from the appropriate controls
                        if (ctrl is TextBox)
                            value = (ctrl as TextBox).Text;
                        else if (ctrl is DropDownList)
                            value = (ctrl as DropDownList).Text;
                        else if (ctrl is RadioButton)
                            value = (ctrl as RadioButton).Checked ? "Yes" : "No";
                        else if (ctrl is RadioButtonList)
                            value = (ctrl as RadioButtonList).SelectedValue;
 
                        Session[ctrl.ClientID] = value;
                    }
            
                    repeaterCount++;
                }
            }
}
 
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This Code that I have created doesn't have dyanmic initiliazation in the multidimentional array use static dimentions:
private void AddRepeaterRow(Repeater ThisRepeater, int Count)
        {
            int repeaterCount = 0;
            int ColumnsNumber = 10;            
            int rows = 0;
            
            string[,] savingresult = new string[ThisRepeater.Items.Count, ColumnsNumber];
            foreach (RepeaterItem itm in ThisRepeater.Items) 
            {
                
                string value = null;                
                if (itm.Visible && itm is RepeaterItem)
                { int Columns = 0 ;
 
                    
                    //loop through repeater item controls
                    foreach (Control ctrl in itm.Controls)
                    { 
                        //get values from the appropriate controls
                        if (ctrl is TextBox)
                        {                                
                                value = (ctrl as TextBox).Text;
                                savingresult[rows, Columns] = value;
                                Columns++; 
                        }
                        else if (ctrl is DropDownList)
                            value = (ctrl as DropDownList).Text;
                        else if (ctrl is RadioButton)
                            value = (ctrl as RadioButton).Checked ? "Yes" : "No";
                        else if (ctrl is RadioButtonList)
                            value = (ctrl as RadioButtonList).SelectedValue;
 
                        Session[ctrl.ClientID] = value;
                    }
            
                    repeaterCount++;
                }
                rows++;
            }
}
Thanks
