How to remove ranges from an array in C#

Question

How to remove ranges from an array in C# Like with ArrayList?

ArrayList myAL = new  ArrayList();

myAL.Add( "The" );
myAL.Add( "quick" );
myAL.Add( "brown" );
myAL.Add( "fox" );
myAL.Add( "jumped" );
myAL.Add( "over" );
myAL.Add( "the" );
myAL.Add( "lazy" );
myAL.Add( "dog" );   
myAL.RemoveRange( 4, 3 );

How can i achieve the same with string array object???

Generic Lists expose a RemoveRange() method. You can convert your array to a list, then remove the range, then convert back to an array:

var myList = myArray.ToList();
myList.RemoveRange(index, count);
myArray = myList.ToArray();

To remove only one item at a specific index you can use RemoveAt():

var myList = myArray.ToList();
myList.RemoveAt(index);
myArray = myList.ToArray();
