copy_to() [1/3]

template<typename type_t >

virtual void xtd::collections::generic::list< type_t >::copy_to ( xtd::array< type_t > &  array ) const

inlinevirtual

Copies the entire xtd::collections::generic::list <type_t> to a compatible one-dimensional array.

Parameters

array

The one-dimensional xtd::array that is the destination of the elements copied from ICollection. The xtd::array must have zero-based indexing.

Exceptions

ArgumentNullException	array is null.
ArgumentException	The number of elements in the source xtd::collections::generic::list <type_t> is greater than the number of elements that the destination array can contain.

Remarks

TThis method uses xtd::array::copy to copy the elements.

The elements are copied to the xtd::array in the same order in which the enumerator iterates through the xtd::collections::generic::list <type_t>.

This method is an O(n) operation, where n is xtd::collections::generic::list::count.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates all three overloads of the CopyTo method. A xtd::collections::generic::list <type_t> of strings is created and populated with 5 strings. An empty string array of 15 elements is created, and the CopyTo(T[]) method overload is used to copy all the elements of the list to the array beginning at the first element of the array. The CopyTo(T[], Int32) method overload is used to copy all the elements of the list to the array beginning at array index 6 (leaving index 5 empty). Finally, the CopyTo(Int32, T[], Int32, Int32) method overload is used to copy 3 elements from the list, beginning with index 2, to the array beginning at array index 12 (leaving index 11 empty). The contents of the array are then displayed.
