Copies the elements of the List<T> to 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 copies of the elements of the List<T>.

Examples

The following example demonstrates the ToArray method and other methods of the List<T> class that act on ranges. At the end of the example, the GetRange method is used to get three items from the list, beginning with index location 2. The ToArray method is called on the resulting List<T>, creating an array of three elements. The elements of the array are displayed.
