Code in 1.1 That doesn't work in 2.0

Here is the code that gives me trouble:

        m_alFriends = ArrayList.Synchronized(new ArrayList(25));

I Declared m_alFriends like so:

        private List<Friends.Friend> m_alFriends;

I changed that from:

        private ArrayList m_alFriends;

I get the following error:

Error	7	Cannot implicitly convert type 'System.Collections.ArrayList' to 'System.Collections.Generic.List<Defiance.Bncs.Friends.Friend>'	C:\Documents and Settings\JoeL Zimmerman\My Documents\My Programming\C#\8.0\Defiance\Defiance.Connection\BNCS\OpenGameProtocol.cs	764	31	Defiance.Connections

The ArrayList and the Generic.List(Of T) are completely different types. You cannot create a synchronised ArrayList and assign it to a Generic.List(Of T) variable. You need to create a synchronised Generic.List(Of T). The Generic.List(Of T) type doesn't have a Synchronized method though, so I'm not sure if it's possible. You may have to use lock statements to manually synchronise access to your collection.
