Span<T>.ToArray Method

Definition

Namespace:

System

Assembly:

System.Runtime.dll

Source:

Span.cs

Copies the contents of this span into a new array.

public:
 cli::array <T> ^ ToArray();

public T[] ToArray ();

member this.ToArray : unit -> 'T[]

Public Function ToArray () As T()

Returns

T[]

An array containing the data in the current span.

Remarks

This method performs a heap allocation and therefore should be avoided if possible. Heap allocations are expected in APIs that work with arrays. Using such APIs is unavoidable if an alternative API overload that takes a Span<T> does not exist.
