Type Parameters

T

The type of items in the ReadOnlySpan<T>.

Inheritance: Object

ValueType
ReadOnlySpan<T>

Attributes: NativeMarshallingAttribute

Remarks

ReadOnlySpan<T> is a ref struct that is allocated on the stack and can never escape to the managed heap. Ref struct types have a number of restrictions to ensure that they cannot be promoted to the managed heap, including that they can't be boxed, captured in lambda expressions, assigned to variables of type Object, assigned to dynamic variables, and they cannot implement any interface type.

A ReadOnlySpan<T> instance is often used to reference the elements of an array or a portion of an array. Unlike an array, however, a ReadOnlySpan<T> instance can point to managed memory, native memory, or memory managed on the stack.

Constructors

ReadOnlySpan<T>(T)	Creates a new ReadOnlySpan<T> of length 1 around the specified reference.
ReadOnlySpan<T>(T[], Int32, Int32)	Creates a new ReadOnlySpan<T> that includes a specified number of elements of an array starting at a specified index.
ReadOnlySpan<T>(T[])	Creates a new ReadOnlySpan<T> over the entirety of a specified array.
ReadOnlySpan<T>(Void*, Int32)	Creates a new ReadOnlySpan<T> from a specified number of `T` elements starting at a specified memory address.

Properties

Empty	Returns an empty ReadOnlySpan<T>.
IsEmpty	Returns a value that indicates the current read-only span is empty.
Item[Int32]	Gets an item from the read-only span at the specified zero-based index.
Length	The number of items in the read-only span.

GetHashCode()	Obsolete. Not supported. Throws a NotSupportedException.
GetPinnableReference()	Returns a read-only reference to an object of type T that can be used for pinning. This method is intended to support .NET compilers and is not intended to be called by user code.
