ArraySegment<T> Constructors

Definition

Initializes a new instance of the ArraySegment<T> structure.

Overloads

ArraySegment<T>(T[])

Initializes a new instance of the ArraySegment<T> structure that delimits all the elements in the specified array.

ArraySegment<T>(T[], Int32, Int32)

Initializes a new instance of the ArraySegment<T> structure that delimits the specified range of the elements in the specified array.

Examples

The following code example passes an ArraySegment<T> structure to a method.

ArraySegment<T>(T[])

Initializes a new instance of the ArraySegment<T> structure that delimits all the elements in the specified array.

public:
 ArraySegment(cli::array <T> ^ array);
public ArraySegment (T[] array);
new ArraySegment<'T> : 'T[] -> ArraySegment<'T>
Public Sub New (array As T())

Parameters

array
T[]

The array to wrap.

Exceptions

array is null.

Remarks

This constructor creates an ArraySegment<T> that delimits all the elements of array. That is, the Offset property of the ArraySegment<T> is 0 and its Count property is the length of array. To create an ArraySegment<T> that delimits only part of an array, use the ArraySegment<T>(T[], Int32, Int32) constructor.

The original array must be one-dimensional and must have zero-based indexing.

Multiple ArraySegment<T> instances can refer to the same original array and can overlap.

Applies to

ArraySegment<T>(T[], Int32, Int32)

Initializes a new instance of the ArraySegment<T> structure that delimits the specified range of the elements in the specified array.

public:
 ArraySegment(cli::array <T> ^ array, int offset, int count);
public ArraySegment (T[] array, int offset, int count);
new ArraySegment<'T> : 'T[] * int * int -> ArraySegment<'T>
Public Sub New (array As T(), offset As Integer, count As Integer)

Parameters

array
T[]

The array containing the range of elements to delimit.

offset
Int32

The zero-based index of the first element in the range.

count
Int32

The number of elements in the range.

Exceptions

array is null.

offset or count is less than 0.

offset and count do not specify a valid range in array.

Remarks

The original array must be one-dimensional and must have zero-based indexing.

Multiple ArraySegment<T> instances can refer to the same original array and can overlap.
