The meaning? The values are cast to object from the type they were.

in c#:

int intListPrice = 0;
Collection rowList = new Collection();
int intCoutner = 1;

intListPrice += (object[])rowList(intcolCounter)(10);

From VB to C# can be done via converters found via google....

To cast a variable in C#, you just prefix teh value to cast with teh type you want in brackets:

C#

MyType mt = (MyType) value;

So in your example it would be:

C#

intListPrice += (int) rowList[10];

The direct equivalent of the VB.NET code would be closer to:
Convert.ToInt32(((object[])rowList)[10])

But without knowing what the non-generic Collection type looks like, there's no way to know if that's correct. :)
