Returns an Object array that contains all the values in the NameObjectCollectionBase instance.

Namespace:  System.Collections.Specialized
Assembly:  System (in System.dll)
Syntax

Visual Basic
Protected Function BaseGetAllValues As Object()
C#
protected Object[] BaseGetAllValues()
Visual C++
protected:
array<Object^>^ BaseGetAllValues()
F#
member BaseGetAllValues : unit -> Object[] 

Return Value

Type: System.Object[]
An Object array that contains all the values in the NameObjectCollectionBase instance.
Remarks

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

Examples

The following code example uses BaseGetAllKeys and BaseGetAllValues to get an array of the keys or an array of the values.
