I think that you are looking for IndexOf.

int indexItem = myArray.IndexOf(itemName);

You can use it like this.

String itemName = "Hello";
ArrayList myArray = new ArrayList();
myArray.Add( "Hello" );
myArray.Add( "World" );

// Get index of "Hello"
int indexItem = myArray.IndexOf(itemName);

There is no single method that will give you this, but you could first search for your item by name, then use ArrayList.IndexOf.

Tried storing your items in a Dictionary<string, MyItemType> ?
