Gets the original array containing the range of elements that the array segment delimits.

T[]
The original array that was passed to the constructor, and that contains the range delimited by the ArraySegment<T>.
Examples
The following code example passes an ArraySegment<T> to a method.
using namespace System;
namespace Sample

public ref class SampleArray

// Display the initial contents of the array.
Console::WriteLine("The first array segment"
" (with all the array's elements) contains:");
PrintIndexAndValues(words);
// Define an array segment that contains the entire array.
ArraySegment<String^> segment(words);
// Display the contents of the ArraySegment.
Console::WriteLine("The first array segment"
" (with all the array's elements) contains:");

// Define an array segment that contains the middle five

Remarks
The Array property returns the original array, not a copy of the array; therefore, changes made through the property are made directly to the original array.
