ArgumentException

The number of elements in the source SortedDictionary(Of TKey, TValue) is greater than the available space from index to the end of the destination array.

NoteNote:

If the type of the source SortedDictionary(Of TKey, TValue) cannot be cast automatically to the type of the destination array, the nongeneric implementations of ICollection.CopyTo throw InvalidCastException, whereas the generic implementations throw ArgumentException.
