- TInput
The type of the elements of the source array.
- TOutput
The type of the elements of the target array.
Parameters
- array
- TInput[]
The one-dimensional, zero-based Array to convert to a target type.
- converter
- Converter<TInput,TOutput>
A Converter<TInput,TOutput> that converts each element from one type to another type.
Returns
An array of the target type containing the converted elements from the source array.

Examples
The following code example defines a method named PointFToPoint that converts a PointF structure to a Point structure. The example then creates an array of PointF structures, creates a Converter<PointF, Point> delegate (Converter(Of PointF, Point) in Visual Basic) to represent the PointFToPoint method, and passes the delegate to the ConvertAll method. The ConvertAll method passes each element of the input list to the PointFToPoint method and puts the converted elements into a new list of Point structures. In the F# example, the pointFToPoint function is implicitly casted to the Converter<PointF, Point> delegate. Both lists are displayed.

Remarks
The Converter<TInput,TOutput> is a delegate to a method that converts an object to the target type. The elements of array are individually passed to the Converter<TInput,TOutput>, and the converted elements are saved in the new array.
The source array remains unchanged.
This method is an O(n) operation, where n is the Length of array.
In F#, the Array.map function is generally used instead.
