Array.Length Property

Definition

Gets the total number of elements in all the dimensions of the Array.

public:
 property int Length { int get(); };
public int Length { get; }
member this.Length : int
Public ReadOnly Property Length As Integer

Property Value

The total number of elements in all the dimensions of the Array; zero if there are no elements in the array.

Exceptions

The array is multidimensional and contains more than Int32.MaxValue elements.

Examples

The following example uses the Length property to get the total number of elements in an array. It also uses the GetUpperBound method to determine the number of elements in each dimension of a multidimensional array.

using System;

    public static void Main()

                                  arr.GetUpperBound(dimension - 1) + 1);
