I want my MyArrayList to still be geneirc, means - MyArrayList.

Generic... `ArrayList`....? Are you sure that you're using C# and not Java? — Tim Schmelter, Apr 15 '13 at 14:33
ArrayLists are essentially deprecated. see: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5063156/why-isnt-arraylist-marked-obsolete — Ofiris, Apr 15 '13 at 14:35

IF you want generic list than its better to make use of List<T>.

And to add extra function you can make use of extension methods

ArrayList is already generic by its defininition, as it's an array of objects.

There is nothing more generic then object in CLR.

If you mean Generics (<T>), just use List<T>.
