Copies the List<T> or a portion of it to an array.

Overloads

CopyTo(T[], Int32)	Copies the entire List<T> to a compatible one-dimensional array, starting at the specified index of the target array.
CopyTo(Int32, T[], Int32, Int32)	Copies a range of elements from the List<T> to a compatible one-dimensional array, starting at the specified index of the target array.
CopyTo(T[])	Copies the entire List<T> to a compatible one-dimensional array, starting at the beginning of the target array.

Examples

The following example demonstrates all three overloads of the CopyTo method. A List<T> of strings is created and populated with 5 strings. An empty string array of 15 elements is created, and the CopyTo(T[]) method overload is used to copy all the elements of the list to the array beginning at the first element of the array. The CopyTo(T[], Int32) method overload is used to copy all the elements of the list to the array beginning at array index 6 (leaving index 5 empty). Finally, the CopyTo(Int32, T[], Int32, Int32) method overload is used to copy 3 elements from the list, beginning with index 2, to the array beginning at array index 12 (leaving index 11 empty). The contents of the array are then displayed.

    dinosaurs->CopyTo(arr);
    dinosaurs->CopyTo(arr, 6);
    dinosaurs->CopyTo(2, arr, 12, 3);

    Console::WriteLine("\nContents of the array:");
    for each(String^ dinosaurs in arr )

CopyTo(T[], Int32)

Source:: List.cs

Source:: List.cs

Source:: List.cs

Copies the entire List<T> to a compatible one-dimensional array, starting at the specified index of the target array.

public:
 virtual void CopyTo(cli::array <T> ^ array, int arrayIndex);

public void CopyTo (T[] array, int arrayIndex);

abstract member CopyTo : 'T[] * int -> unit
override this.CopyTo : 'T[] * int -> unit

Public Sub CopyTo (array As T(), arrayIndex As Integer)

Parameters

array: T[]

The one-dimensional Array that is the destination of the elements copied from List<T>. The Array must have zero-based indexing.

arrayIndex: Int32

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

Implements

CopyTo(T[], Int32)

Exceptions

ArgumentNullException

array is null.

ArgumentOutOfRangeException

arrayIndex is less than 0.

ArgumentException

The number of elements in the source List<T> is greater than the available space from arrayIndex to the end of the destination array.

Remarks

This method uses Array.Copy to copy the elements.

The elements are copied to the Array in the same order in which the enumerator iterates through the List<T>.

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

index is equal to or greater than the Count of the source List<T>.

-or-

The number of elements from index to the end of the source List<T> is greater than the available space from arrayIndex to the end of the destination array.

Remarks

This method uses Array.Copy to copy the elements.

The elements are copied to the Array in the same order in which the enumerator iterates through the List<T>.
