Copies all of the elements of the current Strokes collection to the specified one-dimensional array, starting at the specified destination array index.

Namespace: Microsoft.Ink
Assembly: Microsoft.Ink (in microsoft.ink.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Sub CopyTo ( _
    array As Array, _
    index As Integer _
)
'Usage
Dim instance As Strokes
Dim array As Array
Dim index As Integer

instance.CopyTo(array, index)

public void CopyTo (
    Array array,
    int index
)

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

public final void CopyTo (
    Array array, 
    int index
)

public final function CopyTo (
    array : Array, 
    index : int
)

Not applicable.

Parameters

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

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

Remarks

The elements are copied to the Array object in the same order in which the enumerator iterates through the Strokes.

An exception is thrown if:

The array parameter is a a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) (Nothing in Microsoft Visual Basic.NET) reference.
The index parameter is less than zero.
The array parameter is multidimensional.
The index parameter is equal to or greater than the length of the array parameter.
The number of elements in the collection is higher than the available space from the index parameter to the end of the destination array parameter.

The type of the collection is cast automatically to the type of the destination array parameter. However, this method only copies elements to arrays of the same type as the elements of the collection or arrays of type Object. Attempting to copy to another type of array causes an InvalidCastExceptionInvalidCastException exception to be thrown.

This method is not synchronized.

Example

This C# example fills part of an array of Stroke objects with the entire contents of the Ink.Strokes collection, starting at element 1 (the second element in a zero-based array) of the destination array theCopies and leaving the first element of the destination array (with an index of 0) empty.

Stroke[] theCopies = new Stroke[theInkCollector.Ink.Strokes.Count + 1];
theInkCollector.Ink.Strokes.CopyTo(theCopies, 1);

This Visual Basic .NET example fills part of an array of Stroke objects with the entire contents of the Ink.Strokes collection, starting at element 1 (the second element in a zero-based array) of the destination array theCopies and leaving the first element of the destination array (with an index of 0) empty.

Dim theCopies(e.Stroke.ExtendedProperties.Count) As Stroke
e.Stroke.ExtendedProperties.CopyTo(theCopies, 1)
