where is System.Collections.arraylist in Settings

Question

I guess it's a silly question, but maybe someone could help me...

I'm trying to find System.Collections.arraylist in the Settings tab of the project and can't seem to find it. Am I missing something here?

I want to save a listbox (in the form of Arraylist) to the Settings so I need to save a parameter of type: System.Collections.arraylist.

 Properties.Settings.Default.listbox_items = new ArrayList(PkgFilesListbox.Items);

So, basically, listbox_items should be of type System.Collections.Array, right?

But I can't find it in VS2012 in the Settings tab (in the project properties). I have bool, int, string, System, etc., but under System, there's no Collections.

just like here

you need to show actual code and the example in the link is pretty self explanatory why can't you get it to work.. did you right click on y our project and select add new item, then select Settings File..? — MethodMan, Apr 28 '16 at 20:31

From the type dropdown box choose "Browse...":

A dialog will open up - you should be able to find System.ArrayList.Collections in there. (If you can't, just type it in the textbox at the bottom of the dialog - that's probably easier anyway)
