Field Value
Remarks
The following table lists the instruction's hexadecimal and Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL) assembly format, along with a brief reference summary:
Format | Assembly Format | Description |
---|---|---|
A2 | stelem.ref | Replaces an array element at the supplied index with the ref value (type O ) on the stack. |
The stack transitional behavior, in sequential order, is:
An object reference to an array,
array
, is pushed onto the stack.A valid index to an element in
array
is pushed onto the stack.A value is pushed onto the stack.
The value, the index, and the array reference are popped from the stack; the value is put into the array element at the given index.
The stelem.ref
instruction replaces the value of the element at the supplied index in the one-dimensional array array
with the ref
(type O
) value pushed onto the stack.
Arrays are objects and hence represented by a value of type O
. The index is type native int
.
Note that stelem.ref
implicitly casts the supplied value to the element type of array
before assigning the value to the array element. This cast can fail, even for verified code. Thus the stelem.ref
instruction can throw InvalidCastException. For one-dimensional arrays that aren't zero-based and for multidimensional arrays, the Array class provides a SetValue method.
NullReferenceException is thrown if array
is a null reference.
IndexOutOfRangeException is thrown if index
is negative, or larger than the bound of array
.
ArrayTypeMismatchException is thrown if array
does not hold elements of the required type.

opcode:
