ArraySegment<T> Constructor (array<T>^, Int32, Int32)

 

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

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

public:
ArraySegment(
	array<T>^ array,
	int offset,
	int count
)

Parameters

array
Type: array<T>^

The array containing the range of elements to delimit.

offset
Type: System::Int32

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

count
Type: System::Int32

The number of elements in the range.

Exception Condition
ArgumentNullException

array is null.

ArgumentOutOfRangeException

offset or count is less than 0.

ArgumentException

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

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.

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

using namespace System;

    public ref class SampleArray

                "fox", "jumps", "over", "the", "lazy", "dog"};

            // Display the initial contents of the array.
            Console::WriteLine("The first array segment"
		        " (with all the array's elements) contains:");
            PrintIndexAndValues(words);

            // Define an array segment that contains the entire array.
            ArraySegment<String^> segment(words);

            Console::WriteLine("The first array segment"
                " (with all the array's elements) contains:");
            PrintIndexAndValues(segment);

            // Define an array segment that contains the middle five 
            // values of the array.
            ArraySegment<String^> middle(words, 2, 5);

            // Display the contents of the ArraySegment.
            Console::WriteLine("The second array segment"
                " (with the middle five elements) contains:");
            PrintIndexAndValues(middle);

            // also changed.

    /* 
    This code produces the following output.

    The original array initially contains:
    [0] : The
    [1] : quick
    [2] : brown
    [3] : fox
    [4] : jumps
    [5] : over
    [6] : the
    [7] : lazy
    [8] : dog

    The first array segment (with all the array's elements) contains:
    [0] : The
    [1] : quick
    [2] : brown
    [3] : fox
    [4] : jumps
    [5] : over
    [6] : the
    [7] : lazy
    [8] : dog

    The second array segment (with the middle five elements) contains:
    [2] : brown
    [3] : fox
    [4] : jumps
    [5] : over
    [6] : the

    After the first array segment is modified, the second array segment now contains:
    [2] : brown
    [3] : LION
    [4] : jumps
    [5] : over
    [6] : the
