Some information relates to prerelease product that may be substantially modified before it’s released. Microsoft makes no warranties, express or implied, with respect to the information provided here.

Copies the entire BitArray to a compatible one-dimensional Array, starting at the specified index of the target array.

public:
 virtual void CopyTo(Array ^ array, int index);

public void CopyTo (Array array, int index);

abstract member CopyTo : Array * int -> unit
override this.CopyTo : Array * int -> unit

Public Sub CopyTo (array As Array, index As Integer)

Parameters

array: Array

The one-dimensional Array that is the destination of the elements copied from BitArray. The Array must have zero-based indexing.

index: Int32

The zero-based index in array at which copying begins.

Implements

CopyTo(Array, Int32)

Exceptions

ArgumentNullException

array is null.

ArgumentOutOfRangeException

index is less than zero.

ArgumentException

array is multidimensional.

-or-

The number of elements in the source BitArray is greater than the available space from index to the end of the destination array.

InvalidCastException

The type of the source BitArray cannot be cast automatically to the type of the destination array.

Examples

The following code example shows how to copy a BitArray into a one-dimensional Array.

using namespace System;
using namespace System::Collections;
void PrintValues( IEnumerable^ myArr );
int main()
{
   // Creates and initializes the source BitArray.
   BitArray^ myBA = gcnew BitArray( 4 );
   myBA[ 0 ] = true;
   myBA[ 1 ] = true;
   myBA[ 2 ] = true;
   myBA[ 3 ] = true;

   // Creates and initializes the one-dimensional target Array of type Boolean.
   array<Boolean>^myBoolArray = gcnew array<Boolean>(8);
   myBoolArray[ 0 ] = false;
   myBoolArray[ 1 ] = false;

   // Displays the values of the target Array.
   Console::WriteLine( "The target Boolean Array contains the following (before and after copying):" );
   PrintValues( dynamic_cast<IEnumerable^>(myBoolArray) );

   // Copies the entire source BitArray to the target BitArray, starting at index 3.
   myBA->CopyTo( myBoolArray, 3 );

   // Displays the values of the target Array.
   PrintValues( dynamic_cast<IEnumerable^>(myBoolArray) );

   // Creates and initializes the one-dimensional target Array of type integer.
   array<Int32>^myIntArray = gcnew array<Int32>(8);
   myIntArray[ 0 ] = 42;
   myIntArray[ 1 ] = 43;

   // Displays the values of the target Array.
   Console::WriteLine( "The target integer Array contains the following (before and after copying):" );
   PrintValues( dynamic_cast<IEnumerable^>(myIntArray) );

   // Copies the entire source BitArray to the target BitArray, starting at index 3.
   myBA->CopyTo( myIntArray, 3 );

   // Displays the values of the target Array.
   PrintValues( dynamic_cast<IEnumerable^>(myIntArray) );

   // Creates and initializes the one-dimensional target Array of type byte.
   Array^ myByteArray = Array::CreateInstance( Byte::typeid, 8 );
   myByteArray->SetValue( (Byte)10, 0 );
   myByteArray->SetValue( (Byte)11, 1 );

   // Displays the values of the target Array.
   Console::WriteLine( "The target byte Array contains the following (before and after copying):" );
   PrintValues( myByteArray );

   // Copies the entire source BitArray to the target BitArray, starting at index 3.
   myBA->CopyTo( myByteArray, 3 );

   // Displays the values of the target Array.
   PrintValues( myByteArray );

   // Returns an exception if the array is not of type Boolean, integer or byte.
   try
   {
      Array^ myStringArray = Array::CreateInstance( String::typeid, 8 );
      myStringArray->SetValue( "Hello", 0 );
      myStringArray->SetValue( "World", 1 );
      myBA->CopyTo( myStringArray, 3 );
   }
   catch ( Exception^ myException ) 
   {
      Console::WriteLine( "Exception: {0}", myException );
   }

}

void PrintValues( IEnumerable^ myArr )
{
   IEnumerator^ myEnum = myArr->GetEnumerator();
   while ( myEnum->MoveNext() )
   {
      Object^ obj = safe_cast<Object^>(myEnum->Current);
      Console::Write( "{0,8}", obj );
   }

   Console::WriteLine();
}

Remarks

The specified array must be of a compatible type. Only bool, int, and byte types of arrays are supported.

This method uses Array.Copy to copy the elements.

This method is an O(n) operation, where n is Count.
