Type::MakeArrayType Method
Updated: June 2010
Returns a Type object representing a one-dimensional array of the current type, with a lower bound of zero.
Namespace: System
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Return Value
Type: System::TypeA Type object representing a one-dimensional array of the current type, with a lower bound of zero.
| Exception | Condition |
|---|---|
| NotSupportedException | The invoked method is not supported in the base class. Derived classes must provide an implementation. |
| TypeLoadException | The current type is TypedReference. -or- The current type is a ByRef type. That is, Type::IsByRef returns true. |
The MakeArrayType method provides a way to generate array types whose element types are computed at run time.
Note The common language runtime makes a distinction between vectors (that is, one-dimensional arrays that are always zero-based) and multidimensional arrays. A vector, which always has only one dimension, is not the same as a multidimensional array that happens to have only one dimension. This method overload can only be used to create vector types, and it is the only way to create a vector type. Use the MakeArrayType(Int32) method overload to create multidimensional array types.
The following code example creates array, ref (ByRef in Visual Basic), and pointer types for the Test class.
