// Example of the Buffer class methods.
using namespace System;

void DisplayArray( array<short>^arr )
{
   Console::Write( "  arr:" );
   for ( int loopX = arr->Length - 1; loopX >= 0; loopX-- )
      Console::Write( " {0:X4}", arr[ loopX ] );
   Console::WriteLine();
}

int main()
{
   
   // This array is to be modified and displayed.
   array<short>^arr = {258,259,260,261,262,263,264,265,266,267,268,269,270,271};
   Console::WriteLine( "This example of the Buffer class "
   "methods generates the following output.\n"
   "Note: The array is displayed from right to left.\n" );
   Console::WriteLine( "Initial values of array:\n" );
   
   // Display the initial array values and ByteLength.
   DisplayArray( arr );
   Console::WriteLine( "\nBuffer::ByteLength( arr ): {0}", Buffer::ByteLength( arr ) );
   
   // Copy a region of the array; set a byte within the array.
   Console::WriteLine( "\nCall these methods: \n"
   "  Buffer::BlockCopy( arr, 5, arr, 16, 9 ),\n"

   Buffer::BlockCopy( arr, 5, arr, 16, 9 );

Remarks

Buffer only affects arrays of primitive types; this class does not apply to objects. Each primitive type is treated as a series of bytes without regard to any behavior or limitation associated with the primitive type.

Buffer provides methods to copy bytes from one array of primitive types to another array of primitive types, get a byte from an array, set a byte in an array, and obtain the length of an array. This class provides better performance for manipulating primitive types than similar methods in the System.Array class.

Buffer is applicable to the following primitive types: Boolean, Char, SByte, Byte, Int16, UInt16, Int32, UInt32, Int64, UInt64, IntPtr, UIntPtr, Single, and Double.

Methods

BlockCopy(Array, Int32, Array, Int32, Int32)

Copies a specified number of bytes from a source array starting at a particular offset to a destination array starting at a particular offset.

ByteLength(Array)

Returns the number of bytes in the specified array.

GetByte(Array, Int32)

Retrieves the byte at the specified location in the specified array.

MemoryCopy(Void*, Void*, Int64, Int64)

Copies a number of bytes specified as a long integer value from one address in memory to another.

This API is not CLS-compliant.

MemoryCopy(Void*, Void*, UInt64, UInt64)

Copies a number of bytes specified as an unsigned long integer value from one address in memory to another.

This API is not CLS-compliant.

SetByte(Array, Int32, Byte)

Assigns a specified value to a byte at a particular location in a specified array.
