S.N | Property Name & Description |
---|---|
1 | IsFixedSize Gets a value indicating whether the Array has a fixed size. |
2 | IsReadOnly Gets a value indicating whether the Array is read-only. |
3 | Length Gets a 32-bit integer that represents the total number of elements in all the dimensions of the Array. |
4 | LongLength Gets a 64-bit integer that represents the total number of elements in all the dimensions of the Array. |
5 | Rank Gets the rank (number of dimensions) of the Array. |

Methods of the Array Class
S.N | Method Name & Description |
---|---|
1 | Public Shared Sub Clear (
array As Array,
index As Integer,
length As Integer
)
Sets a range of elements in the Array to zero, to false, or to null, depending on the element type. |
2 | Public Shared Sub Copy (
sourceArray As Array,
destinationArray As Array,
length As Integer
)
Copies a range of elements from an Array starting at the first element and pastes them into another Array starting at the first element. The length is specified as a 32-bit integer. |
3 | Public Sub CopyTo (
array As Array,
index As Integer
)
Copies all the elements of the current one-dimensional Array to the specified one-dimensional Array starting at the specified destination Array index. The index is specified as a 32-bit integer. |
4 | Public Function GetLength (
dimension As Integer
) As Integer
Gets a 32-bit integer that represents the number of elements in the specified dimension of the Array. |
5 | Public Function GetLongLength (
dimension As Integer
) As Long
Gets a 64-bit integer that represents the number of elements in the specified dimension of the Array. |
6 | Public Function GetLowerBound (
dimension As Integer
) As Integer
Gets the lower bound of the specified dimension in the Array. |
7 | Public Function GetType As Type Gets the Type of the current instance (Inherited from Object). |
8 | Public Function GetUpperBound (
dimension As Integer
) As Integer
Gets the upper bound of the specified dimension in the Array. |
9 | Public Function GetValue (
index As Integer
) As Object
Gets the value at the specified position in the one-dimensional Array. The index is specified as a 32-bit integer. |
10 | Public Shared Function IndexOf (
array As Array,
value As Object
) As Integer
Searches for the specified object and returns the index of the first occurrence within the entire one-dimensional Array. |
11 | Public Shared Sub Reverse (
array As Array
)
Reverses the sequence of the elements in the entire one-dimensional Array. |
12 | Public Sub SetValue (
value As Object,
index As Integer
)
Sets a value to the element at the specified position in the one-dimensional Array. The index is specified as a 32-bit integer. |
13 | Public Shared Sub Sort (
array As Array
)
Sorts the elements in an entire one-dimensional Array using the IComparable implementation of each element of the Array. |
14 | Public Overridable Function ToString As String Returns a string that represents the current object (Inherited from Object). |
