SortedList.CopyTo(Array, Int32) Method

Definition

Copies SortedList elements to a one-dimensional Array object, starting at the specified index in the array.

C#
public virtual void CopyTo(Array array, int arrayIndex);

Parameters

array
Array

The one-dimensional Array object that is the destination of the DictionaryEntry objects copied from SortedList. The Array must have zero-based indexing.

arrayIndex
Int32

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

Implements

Exceptions

array is null.

arrayIndex is less than zero.

array is multidimensional.

-or-

The number of elements in the source SortedList object is greater than the available space from arrayIndex to the end of the destination array.

The type of the source SortedList cannot be cast automatically to the type of the destination array.

Examples

The following code example shows how to copy the values in a SortedList object into a one-dimensional Array object.

C#
 using System;
 using System.Collections;
 public class SamplesSortedList  {

    public static void Main()  {

       // Creates and initializes the source SortedList.
       SortedList mySourceList = new SortedList();
       mySourceList.Add( 2, "cats" );
       mySourceList.Add( 3, "in" );
       mySourceList.Add( 1, "napping" );
       mySourceList.Add( 4, "the" );
       mySourceList.Add( 0, "three" );
       mySourceList.Add( 5, "barn" );

       // Creates and initializes the one-dimensional target Array.
       String[] tempArray = new String[] { "The", "quick", "brown", "fox", "jumps", "over", "the", "lazy", "dog" };
       DictionaryEntry[] myTargetArray = new DictionaryEntry[15];
       int i = 0;
       foreach ( string s in tempArray )  {
          myTargetArray[i].Key = i;
          myTargetArray[i].Value = s;
          i++;
       }

       // Displays the values of the target Array.
       Console.WriteLine( "The target Array contains the following (before and after copying):" );
       PrintValues( myTargetArray, ' ' );

       // Copies the entire source SortedList to the target SortedList, starting at index 6.
       mySourceList.CopyTo( myTargetArray, 6 );

       // Displays the values of the target Array.
       PrintValues( myTargetArray, ' ' );
    }

    public static void PrintValues( DictionaryEntry[] myArr, char mySeparator )  {
       for ( int i = 0; i < myArr.Length; i++ )
          Console.Write( "{0}{1}", mySeparator, myArr[i].Value );
       Console.WriteLine();
    }
 }


/*
This code produces the following output.

The target Array contains the following (before and after copying):
 The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog
 The quick brown fox jumps over three napping cats in the barn

*/

Remarks

The key/value pairs are copied to the Array object in the same order in which the enumerator iterates through the SortedList object.

To copy only the keys in the SortedList, use SortedList.Keys.CopyTo.

To copy only the values in the SortedList, use SortedList.Values.CopyTo.

This method is an O(n) operation, where n is Count.
