private static int rno, rno1;
private static string rno2;
private string stringToArrayList(string MyValue)
{
ArrayList a2 = new ArrayList();
string[] s = MyValue.Split(new char[] { ',' });
foreach (string item in s)
a2.Add(item);
Random randmname = new Random();
rno1 = randmname.Next(a2.Count);
rno2 = a2[rno1].ToString();

return rno2;

Accepted answer
well you are not spliting the String right i think you should do this :

String x=textbox1.text;
String [] xx=x.split(new char[]{'\n'});
ArrayList xxx=new ArrayList();
for(int i=0;i{
xxx.Add(xx[i]);
}
Randow Rand=new Random();
int Number=Rand.Next(xxx.count);

textbox1.text=xxx[Number].toString();

This will do the Thing You need to do...
I Hope This Helps......
