In C#:
Fixed with recommendation from Mike
ArrayList list = ...;
// List<object> list = ...;
foreach (object o in list) {
if (o is int) {
HandleInt((int)o);
}
else if (o is string) {
HandleString((string)o);
}
...
}
In Java:
ArrayList<Object> list = ...;
for (Object o : list) {
if (o instanceof Integer)) {
handleInt((Integer o).intValue());
}
else if (o instanceof String)) {
handleString((String)o);
}
...
}
