C#, DataTable to ArrayList?

Question

I have a datatable with few rows each row has few columns.
I want to create an arraylist that countain all row as a string
so each array item look like this {1;qwqww;qweqweqwe;qweqweqw;qwe}
The items in the string will be separated with ; and it is a .NET 2 solution

Thanks

Here is a solution that actually works.

ArrayList rows = new ArrayList();

foreach (DataRow dataRow in myDataTable.Rows)
    rows.Add(string.Join(";", dataRow.ItemArray.Select(item => item.ToString())));

However, I feel I should point out that it is unwise to use the obsolete ArrayList. Use List<string> instead, since the rows are strings:

List<string> rows = new List<string>();

The rest of the code is the same.
