DON'T SHOUT. Using all capitals is considered shouting on the internet, and rude (using all lower case is considered childish). Use proper capitalization if you want to be taken seriously.

Sorry I did not mean it. Thanks for this information ... Really I did not know it .
I Wish that you can help me.

Why would I?
You are still shouting at us.
And you clearly did know, as your title was in "proper case" and everything else was SHOUTY.

If you are trying to fill an array with random numbers that represent dice rolls, then that's simple:

C#

private Random die = new Random();
...
int[] rolls = new int[10];
for (int i = 0; i < rolls.Length; i++)
   {
   rolls[i] = die.Next(6) + 1;
   }

Don't use ArrayList - it'a very, very out of date. There are better constructs called Generic Collections which are much easier to use:

List<int> rolls = new List<int>();
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
    {
    rolls.Add(die.Next(6) + 1);
    }

With generic collections you don;t have to cast teh values to a particular datatype when you try to use them, and the system enforces that you can only put the right type of data in them.

myListBox.DataSource = rolls;

That is complicated: it depends on a lot of factors, and it probably outside your knowledge set at the moment - you really need to get basic stuff like this well and truly sorted before you start wading into the complex stuff.

            System.Windows.Forms.Timer timer = new System.Windows.Forms.Timer();
            timer.Interval = 1000;
            timer.Tick += timer_Tick;
            timer.Start();
...
        void timer_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
            {
            // Do your timer stuff here.
            }
