If you take an array of object, you can store multiple data
type in an array.
object[] obj = new object[4];
obj[0]=1;
obj[1]="Neeraj";
obj[2]=true;
obj[3]=System.DateTime.Now;

Answer / tsahi
Yes you can, if you have an object array. since
System.Object is the base class of all other types, an item
in an array of Objects can have a reference to any other
type of object.

Answer / vishal shah
What payal has mentioned is absolutely right. Array doesnt
store different datatypes. but ArrayList can store
different types of datatype in a single object.

Answer / vishal
Ok, so here is the catch:
An array of objects can store different datatype members -
object[] ar = new object[3];
ar[0] = "test";
ar[1] = 56;
An arraylist can also be used for this purpose -
ArrayList arr = new ArrayList();
arr.Add(56);
arr.Add("ASDf");
And a generic list too can be used for this purpose -
List<object> llst1 = new List<object>();
llst1.Add(56);
llst1.Add("ASDf");

object
