BitArray.SetAll(Boolean) Method

Definition

Sets all bits in the BitArray to the specified value.

public:
 void SetAll(bool value);
public void SetAll (bool value);
member this.SetAll : bool -> unit
Public Sub SetAll (value As Boolean)

Parameters

value
Boolean

The Boolean value to assign to all bits.

Examples

The following code example shows how to set and get specific elements in a BitArray.

using namespace System;
using namespace System::Collections;
void PrintIndexAndValues( IEnumerable^ myCol );
int main()
{
   
   // Creates and initializes a BitArray.
   BitArray^ myBA = gcnew BitArray( 5 );
   
   // Displays the properties and values of the BitArray.
   Console::WriteLine( "myBA values:" );
   PrintIndexAndValues( myBA );
   
   // Sets all the elements to true.
   myBA->SetAll( true );
   
   // Displays the properties and values of the BitArray.
   Console::WriteLine( "After setting all elements to true," );
   PrintIndexAndValues( myBA );
   
   // Sets the last index to false.
   myBA->Set( myBA->Count - 1, false );
   
   // Displays the properties and values of the BitArray.
   Console::WriteLine( "After setting the last element to false," );
   PrintIndexAndValues( myBA );
   
   // Gets the value of the last two elements.
   Console::WriteLine( "The last two elements are: " );
   Console::WriteLine( "    at index {0} : {1}", myBA->Count - 2, myBA->Get( myBA->Count - 2 ) );
   Console::WriteLine( "    at index {0} : {1}", myBA->Count - 1, myBA->Get( myBA->Count - 1 ) );
}

void PrintIndexAndValues( IEnumerable^ myCol )
{
   int i = 0;
   IEnumerator^ myEnum = myCol->GetEnumerator();
   while ( myEnum->MoveNext() )
   {
      Object^ obj = safe_cast<Object^>(myEnum->Current);
      Console::WriteLine( "    [{0}]:    {1}", i++, obj );
   }

   Console::WriteLine();
}
