Namespace: System.Runtime.InteropServices
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

Syntax

public:
[SecurityCriticalAttribute]
static void Copy(
	IntPtr source,
	array<int>^ destination,
	int startIndex,
	int length
)

Parameters

source: Type: System::IntPtr
The memory pointer to copy from.

destination: Type: array<System::Int32>^
The array to copy to.

startIndex: Type: System::Int32
The zero-based index in the destination array where copying should start.

length: Type: System::Int32
The number of array elements to copy.

Exceptions

Exception	Condition
ArgumentNullException	source, destination, startIndex, or length is null.

Unmanaged, C-style arrays do not contain bounds information, which prevents the startIndex and length parameters from being validated. Thus, the unmanaged data corresponding to the source parameter populates the managed array regardless of its usefulness. You must initialize the managed array with the appropriate size before calling this method.

Examples

The following example copies an array to unmanaged memory and then copies the unmanaged array back to managed memory.

C++

No code example is currently available or this language may not be supported.
