Remarks
Unlike most classes, Array provides the CreateInstance method, instead of public constructors, to allow for late bound access.
Reference-type elements are initialized to null
. Value-type elements are initialized to zero.
This method is an O(n
) operation, where n
is length
.
In F#, the Array.zeroCreate function is usually used instead.

Remarks
Unlike most classes, Array provides the CreateInstance method, instead of public constructors, to allow for late bound access.
The number of elements in the lengths
array must equal the number of dimensions in the new Array. Each element of the lengths
array must specify the length of the corresponding dimension in the new Array.
Reference-type elements are initialized to null
. Value-type elements are initialized to zero.
This method is an O(n
) operation, where n
is the product of all values in lengths
.

Parameters
- lengths
- Int64[]
An array of 64-bit integers that represent the size of each dimension of the Array to create. Each integer in the array must be between zero and Int32.MaxValue, inclusive.
Returns
A new multidimensional Array of the specified Type with the specified length for each dimension, using zero-based indexing.

Remarks
Unlike most classes, Array provides the CreateInstance method, instead of public constructors, to allow for late bound access.
The number of elements in the lengths
array must equal the number of dimensions in the new Array. Each element of the lengths
array must specify the length of the corresponding dimension in the new Array.
Reference-type elements are initialized to null
. Value-type elements are initialized to zero.

Remarks
Unlike most classes, Array provides the CreateInstance method, instead of public constructors, to allow for late bound access.
The lengths
and lowerBounds
arrays must have the same number of elements. The number of elements in the lengths
array must equal the number of dimensions in the new Array.
Each element of the lengths
array must specify the length of the corresponding dimension in the new Array.
Each element of the lowerBounds
array must specify the lower bound of the corresponding dimension in the new Array. Generally, the .NET class library and many programming languages do not handle non-zero lower bounds.
Reference-type elements are initialized to null
. Value-type elements are initialized to zero.
This method is an O(n
) operation, where n
is the product of all values in lengths
.
Note
Not all languages support arrays with non-zero lower bounds, and therefore you may not be able to cast instances of non-zero based Array to the language's array type. For example, you cannot cast a 1-dimensional integer array with the lower bound 6 to C#'s int[]
type. This results in InvalidCastException during runtime with the message "Unable to cast object of type 'System.Int32[*]' to type 'System.Int32[]'.", where the asterisk (*) means non-zero based index. However, you can cast zero based arrays of any rank created with CreateInstance(Type, Int32[], Int32[]) to the language's array. For example, you can cast a 2-dimensional zero based integer array created with this method to C#'s int[,]
type.

Examples
The following code example shows how to create and initialize a three-dimensional Array.
using namespace System;
void PrintValues( Array^ myArr );
void main()
{
// Creates and initializes a three-dimensional Array instance of type Object.
Array^ my3DArray = Array::CreateInstance( Object::typeid, 2, 3, 4 );
for ( int i = my3DArray->GetLowerBound( 0 ); i <= my3DArray->GetUpperBound( 0 ); i++ )
for ( int j = my3DArray->GetLowerBound( 1 ); j <= my3DArray->GetUpperBound( 1 ); j++ )
for ( int k = my3DArray->GetLowerBound( 2 ); k <= my3DArray->GetUpperBound( 2 ); k++ )
my3DArray->SetValue( String::Concat( "abc", i, j, k ), i, j, k );
// Displays the values of the Array.
Console::WriteLine( "The three-dimensional Array instance contains the following values:" );
PrintValues( my3DArray );
}
void PrintValues( Array^ myArr )
{
System::Collections::IEnumerator^ myEnumerator = myArr->GetEnumerator();
int i = 0;
int cols = myArr->GetLength( myArr->Rank - 1 );
while ( myEnumerator->MoveNext() )
{
if ( i < cols )
{
i++;
}
else
{
Console::WriteLine();
i = 1;
}
Console::Write( "\t{0}", myEnumerator->Current );
}
Console::WriteLine();
}

Remarks
Unlike most classes, Array provides the CreateInstance method, instead of public constructors, to allow for late bound access.
Reference-type elements are initialized to null
. Value-type elements are initialized to zero.
This method is an O(n
) operation, where n
is the product of length1
, length2
, and length3
.
In F#, the Array3D.zeroCreate function can be used instead.
