I am using Arraylist to populate a drop down

I get outofmemoryexception at this line
for (iYear = 0; iYear <= oYearsList.Count - 1; iYear++)
            {
                sHtml.Append("<option value='" + oYearsList.Add(iYear)
+ "'>" + oYearsList.Add(iYear) + "</option>");
            }

When I use:
for (iYear = 0; iYear <= oYearsList.Count - 1; iYear++)
            {
                sHtml.Append("<option value=2007>2007</option>");
            }

I dont get this exception. Is there anything wrong the way I am using
the Add method of Arraylist.

You are adding items to the ArrayList while you loop through the same 
arraylist. Sounds like infinite loop to me, right?
